The lifechanging events Of Avion!

A glance is given back to the others once they had left- and with their backs fading into the castle's entrance, Judeal's grin twists longer, growing from ear-to-ear. Sharp canines are revealed with the wicked smirk, coupled with a glint in the embers of his bloody eyes.

"This is boring." He states, before lifting his cold, shaky hand to materialize an orb of death magic on its fingers. The tiny purple orb grows larger with each passing second. "...Anyone want to party?" He cocks his head to the side, wide, mad eyes glaring down, as the tip of his tongue moves to lick around his left dagger-like fang.
(Judeal Loki)
[12:25:20] Yumi Saito whispers: Yup. I'll be leaving too, I guess. It'd be a good idea t--
[12:25:20] Yumi Saito: Oh shit.
[12:25:20] Gregor Schmidt: Sir, I suggest you put a coat on!
[12:27:02] Marcel stares at Judeal from a good distance, furrowing his brow as the purple orb appeared in the Half-Angel's hand. He starts slowly backing away from the sight.
(Marcel)
[12:28:44] Ace looks at the man in surpries "the hell is wrong with him?" Ace asked himself taking a step back still with tha rebelious face Ace almost reached for his sword but remembered there was no way he coud stand up to him "Oh sh**" Ace whispered to himself.
(Ace Jacker)
[12:29:36] After a short conversation with the young Godric before her, the young girl would begin to slowly turn her head to the right. "Oh fuck." she thought to herself, slightly shivering at the sight of Judeal preparing an attack. Yumi had heard things about the 'Empresses' Boyfriend', but she never really thought that she would see him in person.

Her eyebrows twisted as she slowly began to back away, grabbing onto Avion's cloak. "Let's, uh.. Get outta here." she said in a low mumble.
(Yumi Saito)
[12:29:36] The Empress Aria and the others entered the Castle but the man on the Dragon stayed. Drutch watched as the man stared down at them with his crimson eyes and waited for a reply. Drutch didnt say anything but he wasnt scared either because Gaizen gave him courage
(Drutch Valisk)
[12:32:09] Death magic.....what an awful sight to see.....Araceon stepped back slightly, but then realized that there was no escape from this...if the Angel wanted someone dead..they would die in a flash..it was only a matter of choice..Araceon made sure that he kept mitch at a safe distance...all that mattered to him was keeping him safe.. He had no idea what was going to happen to his father..but if they took him away, it would hae to be something gruesome. He turned to mitch trying to smile in such a traumatizing period of his life.

And yet again.....he lied to his face

“Don’t worry Mitch, your dad is gonna be fine, he just has to be” Araceon really wanted Garza to be ok....but this was most likely going to be the last memory of him that he will see....and worse for Mitch, he will end up not even remembering Garza’s face by the time his a grown up......
(Araceon Rei)
[12:32:09] What was this?! The childs eyes were wide open, by the look on his face he was amazed , not seeing this sort of thing before but got worried the moment Yumi grabbed his cloak ,backing away with her in an attempt to hide behind the tree next to them, he whispered to himself "Tree noises, wooshy woosh.~" what was the child about to see this day, what sort of actions will take place at this very moment.
(Avion Godric)


"...Losers."

His expression dulled, displeased with the lack of rebellion! Wasn't this where they all gathered? Under the banner of Jericho, where the laws of the old were permitted to remain to a reasonable degree? His lip snarled back, desiring some sort of response. It wasn't worth the trip otherwise.

The swirl of purple still grew on the tip of his black nail, until it became the size of a small tennis ball, "Fine then." A second after the comment an explosion boomed from the condensed mana, and with the effect, tiny droplets of death magic shot off- like bullets of hellfire. They zoomed through the air, colliding into the ground at random, to ignite explosions that could easily kill any non-magi.

The attack was mostly aimed for nearby buildings, but Judeal was careless to say the least. The dangerous projectiles continued to pour from the source of mana.

"A light show, perhaps? My face looks oh so pretty when lit up, no?" There was nothing but a monster amidst the half-angel's wicked gaze.
(Judeal Loki)

As she was lead behind the tree, the female began to shake her head profusely in attempt to lead him to somewhere else. "No, we gotta get outta' Frostvale!" she exclaimed, attempting to grab the young child. If successful, the female would carry him in her arms and proceed to try and run towards the gates.
(Yumi Saito)

Little Avion whispered the word once more , this being a third time with the child in his attempt to make some tree's dance to atlease protect a few NPC's from dying , the child did not like the looks of things nore could he even do much but hope the tree's would listen to him with his small amount of will to even look at the scene, he was carried off by Yumi, hoping, pleading that this would not get any worse than what it was at now. However this may of ultimately failed due to his inexperience.

Being taken by the woman or young teen rather , out of frostvale , the young child Godric looked up to her from the moment he was let down, looking at the gates of frostvale in worry.

"Are they going to be alright?" he asked, this being his very first time being in a scene so risky in his entire life aside from the childish battles in frostvale this was a bit extreme, will he have had to stand by and watch some of the few get slaughtered if that were to so happend?!

He got to the ground as he crouched to play with the few living parts of grass that was below the snow, his cosmic energy forming about on his hand that made contact with the grass, which was his right hand, caused a small chain reaction in making such plants move as if they had much more life than it should.
(Avion Godric)

After she had finally made her way out of Frostvale, out through the many people crowding around the gate-- the female managed to squeeze through and make it outside. Several people would probably make their exit as she just situated herself to the side of the gate, where she probably wouldn't get into any more crowds.

"I don't know." she simply replied, a grim and dull expression on her face. Unlike her aunt who was naturally grumpy, Yumi had this dull face from real trauma that happened. She sighed, sitting down on the precipate before them.

"Are you okay?"
(Yumi Saito)

He nods his head while the vines grew from the ground, dancing , the child was no fighter YET, but he was playful with his magic abilities that he were not fully aware of ,he just thought the vines danced naturally because of him being happy, he figured he made them happy!

Looking at Yumi's cold face he said "How come people always fight?..." he was curious as to why people had also always given him different answers, he wants to actually bring a medium end to fighting , or altease an postpone to it. but how?..
(Avion Godric)

She was quite surprised to see that the child was already learning magic at such a young age, but she wouldn't exactly think negatively of it. It's better to start young than when you're older, because you miss out on a lot of learning opportunities and stuff like that. It was still quite strange, to see someone who had grasped the concept of something so difficult.

"I don't know the answer to that question either. Some people just want to see the world burn, I guess."
(Yumi Saito)
[13:18:14] He placed a single figner to his child for a moment "Hmm..." who knew what the child was thinking at the time, perhaps it was the sorrow of the world coming down upon his own little world, seeing the tragedy become larger , seeing that fighting for fun was actually something people of valmasia did.

He looked over to Yumi "Will the fighting ever come to an end?...That guy with the black stuff..Who was he? Why was he destroying buildings?" he wondered.
(Avion Godric)


"Hey Stannis." she half-mumbled, a bit worried about what was happening to Frostvale at the time. It was her home, something that she thought was a safe haven from all of the other parts of Valmasia, yet.. it was being taken, just like all of the other things the Empire took. It almost brought her to tears, but she had cried enough to keep her cool during a situation like this.

"Judeal and the Empress are behind us. Say goodbye to Frostvale's freedom, I guess."
(Yumi Saito)

He just watched from behind the tree , the sight of all this was just too much for a child, he hid himself fully instead of peeking at the scene. After Yumi told him not to come back he was too curious not to. Only to witness more destruction that will scare his mind, seeing the empress and her feiends kill the dragons, watching a man named Garza be put to flames, watching this horror, his eyes widened, and because of this sudden fear , he knew that he would have to find a way to fight back as he grew.
(Avion Godric)

As the child soon woke up from the crazy events from the other night, he was in his newly found tree house where he would be going around to see what else he could find and what else could make his day better than what it was currently. He went to go and read one of the books, the child so obessed with the lifestream that he tried his best to search for books based upon it and have an adult read it to him, an adult like Van Alen.

The young Godric eventually found something of use, he discovered the two books, one of cosmic and one of nature, using his thoughts to think about this, since nature magic was connected to the plants and cosmic magic was connected to him giving the child energy, he thought that with this combination, his hypothesis would lead to him obtaining Lifestream magic.

"Tree's are connected to the ground, they collect sun light to grow, they are everywhere and are full of life, they have to be connected to the lifestream, and the stars are the same except in the skies!" he concluded while taking the books along with him ,placing them both into his bag, Avion began to wonder, what would happend if Judeal had discovered he was looking for such magic in an attempt to rival his own power. From that, the child then realized, he will need to keep such discoveries a secret.
(Avion Godric)



THE NEXT DAY! THE VERY NEXT FRIGGEN DAY! HE FOUND A TEACHER!

As the young child walked in Danarium with his crew of friends going about on their childish adventure! Looking for gold! For treasure and more, he was happy! He was smiling with pride and joy up until he came to a stop yet once again! At the sight of Dominic, he paused and had a minor flashback remembering he saw the man leaving with Aria the empress and Judeal the one who caused so much destruction that day in Frostvale.

The kid had many questions of why someone would do such a thing, but right now all he could do was stand out in the open and stare at the Oscuri man. Was he in fear? Why after seeing all that happend that day with this sudden swing of memories at the sight of an accomplice, he was indeed frighten inside and to the very soul.

"Y-you...You..Were with..him..The destroyer.."
(Avion Godric)
[12:57:45] There was a whole village to work on with every inch of it having been laid to waste from the previous war. The Queen hadn't any idea at all where to start, but she figured all of the fancy gadgets and gizmos would have to wait until the pavement wasn't so... broken.

"I 'spose we'd start on th' important things first, yeah? We could either brush aside all th' stuff that's broken or fix it up like it used t' be. Could make a whole new village or jus'... build off the old one." It was a hard to decision to make, both options being just as expensive as the other. One would be more intensive, the other... probably just as intensive!

She too fell back against the bench just as slowly as he, her bones not as young as they used to be. Sure her appearance could be kept young and true, but there was no fixing aged bones.

"After we figure that out, we can work on making it the village o' invent--... ion?" She stopped, gazing at the small child as he approached with his claim. Her eyes darted towards Dominic briefly before returning to the boy, her brows quirked.
(Tinker Falco)
[13:04:35] Tidus tilted a curious head towards Avion as he had suddenly turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost. The feeling of pure fear for his life was visible with the look he was giving both Tinker and Dominic. He quickly went to his younger brothers side, placing his right hand on his shoulder, quickly speaking if he managed to place said hand on his shoulder.

"Avion... Are you okay? Your not gonna' start going crazy about what happened in the snowy city are youuu?"

Apperantly from the whole scene in Frostvale with Aria's brood against the masses of nivis of Frostvale had etched a mental scar upon Avion's small and fragile mind. There was not much Tidus could to do to counsel his younge brother aside from ask what was wrong.

So much for being there for his younger brother... for protecting him...

Never had Tidus felt so useless.
(Tidus Godric)
[13:13:07] Zrontella Shitaru: . . .
[13:22:30] Avion Godric: (perhaps whoever is next shud start pre-typing lol)
[13:24:12] Ahh, the memories Danarium had brought back, not exactly were any of them pleasant, after all, it was the place where he was corrupted by Phobos Malpercius and saw Sinh Mourn for the first time. It was also where he met his supposed to be love of his life Diana, who then in turn betrayed his wishes and was rarely ever seen again, until recently. Anywhoo, he was back in the used to be golden city, my how it had fallen, golden orbs peered through scarlet pieces of glass to look at the scene unfolding before him.

A look of interest at the two Falcos seated nearby, the kids now approaching and interrogating the power couple, a frown on his face, a foolish decision, unless they were those kids that had massive power in their tiny forms. His eyes squinted behind his charcoal coloured mask, he advance slowly, each step decisive, his crimson cape rustled ever so softly from his movements, unable to say the same for the clanking violet armour he wore. He stopped few feet away from the two parties, a rather ominous look on his face, hidden by the mask as he tried to calculate everyone's next move.

The occultist frowned in thought as his hand folded across his chest, still just observing before finally he broke his silence,"I think it's best you kids leave it alone." he urged with a rather stern voice.
(Appius)
[13:24:12] Appius: (Sorry irl stuff)
[13:26:46] Why couldn't Dominic have a moment with his lovely wife? Sure, it wasn't mandated for the people to love Tinker in Danarium (yet), but he imagined they would have some semblance of tact! And to have Aria called the destroyer, how rude!

But the king did not show his displeasure, instead slowly standing and folding his hands in front of his flowing robes. A wide, forced smile emerged as he stood in greeting in front of the small children.

"No, no. 's fine!" Chimed the king, waving off Appius' suggestion. "They're jus' a bit misinformed, 's all! Frostvale was a terrible thing, 'n we're all sorry it happened..." Again, a hint of sadness was forced onto the Oscuri's face. "But it had t'happen so tha' everyone would know not t'hurt each other. Y'know why it happened?"

The king's head craned, smile returning as he eyed the gathering in front of the Melym tower. "Frostvale was tryin' t'Assassinate Alteros people! 'n we can't let tha' go! Everyone 's equal in th'Empire 'n sometimes people gotta be punished."

"'s sad but...Necessary!"
(Dominic Falco)

[13:36:09] The young child took a tiny step forward to the grown man as he replied to him "But why use scary magic on people who did no wrong...Why let that kind of magic exist?.." he said with a pleading expression on his face, not too good with words but his studies with his tutor helped with that subject somewhat.

"I..I'm gonna become an inventor and invent Lifestream Magic to stop silly reaper magic from harming other people my age! I don't care what it was for, hurting others is not nice!" he was blissful to the reality of what Dominic was explaining to him, all he saw from that day was the lifes of many being taken along with dragons, perhaps soon he will come to an understanding.

"What'it mean to help yet harm?..What is mean to live and be afraid -to- live because of that silly stuff..." he said while looking down, his sadden eyes still shined as bright as the cosmic energies in his system. He wanted answers, but he needed educating on the true ways of the current life of Valmasia..

"Why do people hurt one another?...Are you good?..Or bad?...Is Empress Good? ..or is Empress Bad?.."

So many questions from a small child who has been through a life changing event.
(Avion Godric)
[13:45:32] Now walking away from the academy, making their way towards Danarium. They came into a stop, seeing two adults sitting in a bench right .. infront of them. Ariel had no idea what was happening because she wasn't there at that time in Frostvale, but she was going to be there for Avion and Tidus if they needed her... Avion started acting a bit strange.

"Avion..." Ariella walked closer to the boy, hearing all the questions that he was asking to those sitting infront of them. Both Dominic and Tinker looked to be bad... very bad people... but that was just her impression of them... but Tinker sure was a beautiful girl!

"Y...-Yeah! Yeah! Why do people hurt one another...? Stop with all the harm... no one should be hurt over something.. silly! We will find answers and stop all this harm! WIGHT, GUYS?!" Ariella said looking at her friends, her team-mates!
(Ariella Cadenza)
[[13:49:48] Jacquelyne didn't exactly want to take part in the affairs of noblebloods, especially ones who carried so much influence and strength. The ookami was actually quite scared, looking forward to see her friend arguing with the Queen of Nostvale, Tinker Falco. She would shiver slightly in her place, unsure of what to do. She was quite scared, slowly backing away from the three.

Eventually taking another step forward, the female held onto the fence that wrapped around the Danarium castle. The young lass intently stared at the nobles, her ears twitching slightly as she looked forward. Jacquelyne's tail wagged curiously, her jade irises darting around the scene.
(Jacquelyne)
[13:54:04] Tidus shifted uncomfortably at Avion's questions. The last few rang in his head '...Are you good?..Or bad?'. The pendant on his chest began to glow eerily under the black manteau Tidus wore. Hermes Malpercius had asked him the same question when he had wandered into the Stinnox Caves.

'Are you good, or are you bad' he had said. The questoin seemed to keep popping up in the most peculiar of times. The glowing pendant's glow soon faded, it's depraved presence being clouded once more by the celestial presence the lad seemed to have around him, just like his brother Avion.

Tidus fiddled with his thumbs before trying to tug on Avion's wrist urgently. He said to him, his paradot green eyes peering into his heterochromia iridum eyes with a almost pleading look.

"U-Uh... Avion... Maybe we should go... I know how you feel about what happened, but maybe we should leave the King and Queen alooone..."

He began to try and tug Avion away from the power couple, hoping that they'd let them leave if Avion went along with Tidus's request. He said to them, a sudden role-switch between Avion and Tidus occuring.

"I-I'm sorry for Avion's questions. Don't get mad at him, please. W-We'll leave you alone now."
(Tidus Godric)
[[14:02:36] The priestess was overlooked; Dominic was far too busy with the cabal of children then to notice her skulking along the fence of the Melym tower.

"No wrong?" Dominic's head tilted, warm smile still plastered over his face. "The military of Frostvale attacked the Empress' consort first. We all gotta stand up for ourselves, y'know! It ain't right t'have people bein' bullies! We defended 'm 'n showed everyone why it was wrong! 'n then th'Adain 'n th'military started bein' bullies so we beat'm up too! Violence--yes, violence is wrong. But sometimes 's necessary t'keep th'peace!"

"But tha's great y'got a goal!" Genuine enthusiasm intermixed with the forced mannurisms the king exuded, arms outstretching from his form and welcoming them all. "Everyone should have a big dream 'n a goal, each of y'! Somethin' tha' drives y'life for th'right reasons. Lifestream magic! Ain't tha' a thing!"

With the peanut gallary chiming the king's focus changed, eyes fixating upon each of the children in turn as they spoke up. "People hurt each other 'cause they thing 's what's best. Nobody wants t'ruin th'world, y'know. Each of us got our ideas t'make it better then ever! 's jus' when people are scared 'n afraid they lash out--'n when they lash out th'only way t'respond is with violence itself..."

"A vicious cycle, ain't it?"

Despite Tidus' worry, the king wasn't mad in the least. If anything, he seemed to be enjoying himself! They were seekers of knoweldged, and should that be shamed? Never, not in Aria's new world.

"But no. We ain't evil--'n neither were those in Frostvale who attacked us. We were all jus' people, with different ideas of what to do. Our ideas happened t'win!"
(Dominic Falco)
[14:14:33] Appius stared at Dominic, an then towards the Godrics, the girls they had along with them and Adrianna pulling a mission impossible stunt by the fence, he had heard enough of the King's ramblings and could contain it no longer. A chuckle started from his pale, pink lips, before soon it would build up and erupt into a uncontrollable laughter. In fact it sounded so uncontrollable it was as if he was going insane, it took moments before he finally stoppe, sure the expressions on the face around him would seem confused, perhaps even angry or frightened.

Finally his golden eyes settled on Dominic, the facade he wore could easily fool the chilren, but not one such as Appius, he had seen too much, been through too much. "So. That's the type of man you are." he would comment after folding his arms back across his chest, perhaps everyone woul still be in the dark by what he meant. "Do you really expect to give such an excuse to the people before you an expect them to simply soak it up? Frostvale does not simply just up and attack someone for no reason, though I'm not completely sure why, murdering those people can't be justified."

His head bent backwards as his hand pressed against where his forehead woul be behin the mask, with a sigh he would return to a normal standing position,"Even when you're not human, I guess all races have their different types of scum." he would state. "Of course, I don't have all the answers, but I'm sure some of the 'Empire's' were wrong." he said the last part a bit more frustrated, though the raspiness in his voice was clearly dominant, probably disguising the emotion.
(Appius)
[14:15:24] That frown only grew the more the king spoke and spun the situatiion, her hands clutching on the fabrics of her sleeves rather tightly as her grave expression became more-so. The priestess could only take so much. The past few years were nothing but abuse, it was a minor miracle Adrianna hadn't turned into a drunkard! She was a strong woman, through and through.

And stubborn. "Your majesty!" Truth be told, when she adruptly called out from the side of the 'crowd' she herself was a bit startled! W-what was she doing, throwing her life away - again? Still, she couldn't help but follow through, taking a step forward to fully announce her meager presence. "I was under the impression that the slaughter of Frostvale was a fit of bordom from the Empress's 'friend', and that you later egged on the spectators to continue so you can take on more pure-blooded draconinites as your necromantic thralls." Beat. "Now, of course, I wouldn't expect such a thing from my king, but the people who told me that were awfully insistant."

For all of Adrianna's stubborn bravado, however, the woman was scared. Her knees buckled, hidden away beneath her robes as her fingers dug into her writs, similiarly hidden. She didn't want to die. She passed this man near daily, always looming with his skeletal pets on hand. But there were some things you had to step up for, some messages that needed to be deliviered. "I just wanted your take on it. They painted you as rather bloodthristy and unhinged, your majesty."
(Adrianna)
[14:27:21] Looking up at the man as he spoke the young Godric child came to such an understanding of this that he started to believe that not everything was as it appeared to be and maybe that Frostvale really had done such crimes, he nodded his head agreeing to this finally , agreeing that he had understood what Dominic was telling him.

He was a child so this sort of thing came easily to his mind to believe a man like this , he figured that if they really wanted to do wrong they would slay everyone who was there that day including Avion and Yumi when they were escaping , the child held two books with him, it shows that he has been studying, but has not a clue of where he should go if he is truly wishing to create such a magic to manipulate the power of the lifestream.

"I'm sorry I caused you and the lady over there trouble...But now, I have not a clue ,of where I should turn for such guidence to complete my dream.." he didn't know where to go from now without the inside anger fueling his mind, was he brainwashed to believe Judeal was doing the RIGHT thing? Oh gods that would be bad..

But the child knew nothing of magic aside from alittle bit of alchemy and some tutoring sessons on nature , but how would a human conduct Lifestream magic? The young Godric would need to discover new answers now that such rage and fear of the Empress was being erased away by the words of Dominic.

Which came to the last questions..

"S-should me and my friends..Join the Empire?..Or, join you?.."

A question that originates from the lack of trust in all factions because of their conflicts .
(Avion Godric)
[14:40:09] Tidus soon stopped in his attempts to tug Avion away from the seemingly joyful King Dominic, soon gearing his eyes towards Avion with a curious look. He tilted his head and put his finger on his chin, repeating what his brother had said outloud.

"Join... the Empire?"

Tidus tugged on his brother clothes urgently once more, saying to him.

"What would daddy Firion and mama Petra think Avion? W-Wouldn't they be worried about us?"

Tidus tugged more so on Avion's arm, having gotten another point for why they SHOULDN'T join the Empire's main forces in Nostvale.

"... What would Lady Van Alen say if we joined Avion? She'd be dis, diss-"

Tidus let go of Avion's arm before counting his fingers to get an idea of how many sillables there were in teh word 'dissapointed' then practiced pronouncing it slowly. He sounded out the part of the word 'diss' under his breath, followed by the word 'point' and then finally by the last bit of the word 'ment.' Finally having figured said words pronounciation he'd tug on Avion's arm once again.

"-Dissapointed? S-She said not to get in with bad people riiight? H-How do we know the man isn't lying, and he's not bad, and, and..."

Tidus would begin to stumble over his words, not making much more sense after the second 'and.' He really had no reason to consider Dominic a bad or good person, he was just going by what Van Alen had told him when they had met.
(Tidus Godric)
[14:40:09] Tidus Godric: (*syllables)
[14:41:00] The crowd was less then thrilled by the 'correct' version of events. For it was the version that would be written in the books, the version forced into the minds, and the version ultimately remembered by the populace.

Adrianna was recognized; how could she not be? By speaking up she dragged attention to herself, causing the king's face to freeze momentarially in suprised. A single twinkle of recognition glimmered in his eyes before the fake-smile returned, shifting his gaze to speak to them all at once.

"Excuse? Frostvale does, indeed, rise up for little reason. They're a people who simmer, who rage amongst themselves about pride and heritage though they do nothing to defend it. They let their own hatred build until it reaches a boiling point, launching a tirade off of something inconsequential. A single child's death was enough to cause the nation to riot before--is it so hard to believe an errant insult led the proud race into a fiery rage?"

Dominic's head shook, shoulders exaggeratingly rising and falling with a long shrug. "The Empire is rarely 'wrong', but even in the rare occurance it doesn't occur like this. Th'fact of the matter is...The Empress was assaulted. Assault is bad. Wasn't that what y'just were sayin'? That violence was so wrong?"

"And t'think! A fit of boredom. Terrible libel and slander from what Forsworn remain. Judael was under duress, threatened by the rising masses against the Empire. Valiently did our Divine Host defend himself, only to be repeatedly aggressed by another dragon! Azor succumbed to a sin of pride, watching her fellows die to steal the glory after they were downed!"

Abruptly, as the righteous fire in the king's heart swelled up, did the cloak on his back suddenly become torn to shreds, black fabric coating the archway to the Melym Tower. Where once was black now was green, glorious rieka energies erupting from his circuits and forming a pair of angelic wings that began to flap. Slowly, Dominic floated.

Fortunately for Adrianna, though she was recognized, Dominic wasn't the spiteful sort. He knew her. He knew her activity in Nostvale. He knew her assault on the Empress as well. But the battle was fought and won; why harass her further if she's done little more to warrent it?

"Do not apologize, child!" Dominic's voice grew slightly deeper and louder as he engaged in dramatic melodrama for the crowds of Danarium. If people were going to gather and debate? He'd make it a fine show for the Empire's sake! "Questions are good, they clear confusions and bolster us all! The Empire--Why, you already are a part of us! Danarium is the Empire! Nostvale is the Empire! Like it or not, Frostvale is too! If you want to contribute more? You can always join the army. Or Craftsmen network, depending on what type of a person you are. Are y'a soldier kid, a thinker, or a crafter?"

Despite the, perhaps menacing, appearance of the king (Gold armor and black robes? Spooky green lines and wings? Doesn't inspire safety) he gave no air of malice in his speech. Everything he did seemed carefully coordinated to reassure and assuage the crowd before him; to placate their rage and bring about understanding.
(Dominic Falco)
[14:55:31] What in blue blazin?! What in the gods! It was amazing! The child was amazed by this sudden change in form, he had never thought he would see such wings outside of a battle ! But today, he has gained the chance to gaze upon such energy with widen eyes!

To be a soldier or to be a craftsmen? "I'm not sure yet...I don't like fighting..But I will fight if I have to!..I wanna invent stuff! Can i become both?!" he asked as that reika energy was being displayed all around, the majestic King showing off his wings , while this young child had little to offer.

"W-will you , guide me?" he asked the King , little Avion's eyes were bright from him being amazed, his mood lifted by such a sight to be remembered .

"I want to help bring good...Will you help me? " His decision upon this entire thing was blurry for he was only a child, all he had within his mind right now was to bring good and to bring upon the use of the Lifestream so that he could help guide people to understanding one another.

"King?...I'm Avion Godric..I will bring good understanding to everyone when I grow up." was all he could say right now..He was only a kid still, he could not give off epic speeches.
(Avion Godric)
[14:57:13] Avion Godric: Those wings...I want them too..<*talking to himself in awe*>

A tinge of jealousy seemed to spark within the youth. Avion was looking at Dominic with that look of awe and admiration, just like when Tidus had showed Avion that he could fly. He pouted frustrated at Avion's sudden admiration of Dominic. He uttered under his voice, beggining to rise into the air.



Tidus began to hover forwards over Avion, looking at Dominic and his wings. He felt like he had to compete with the older male - though it was obvious as to who would win if they truly wanted to sway Avion in their favor... Tidus parted his lips, gearing his glowing paradot green eyes to lock with Dominic's glowing rieka filled eyes. He seemed suddenly tense and serious.

"If Avion gets to join, I get to join too. He's my little brother... it's my job to make sure he's okay and safe."

The earth seemed to creak and moan and splinter itself, agreeing with Tidus. There were droplets of sweat beggining to line Tidus's forehead, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to try and show off magics you had little mastery over...
(Tidus Godric)
[15:15:08] What..? Avion seriously wanted to join them? Well, if he joins them... then Ariella is right behind him! She was not going to let him do it alone, besides they are supposed to be together, nothing will tear them apart! They all wanted the same thing.. and that was to stop all the fighting that was happening... all those deaths...! It had to be stopped.

"Whaaaat?" her eyes widened seeing Dominic's wings popping out of nowhere, while himself took flight. Yeah, it was such an amazing view because she has never seen wings like that in person -ever- but at the same time it was a little creepy. Ariella wasn't even a soldier nor a craftsmen... her idea was to move into the healing role.. perhaps that could be good in the army or whatever it was that they were about to join. Was this a good idea or a bad idea...? They were just kids, so they didn't really no anything.. no adult supervision... basically they were alone and needed help with what they are reachin for. And with the help of Dominic, perhaps it might be his help that they needed.

Ariella took a few steps forward, standing next to Avion, now looking at the king. "I am... joining.. TWO!~ I am... Ariella...." she smiled at Avion, knowing that she will never leave his side, unless he tells her not to follow him... but other than that.. the girl wanted to follow Avion in the good or the bad! It was a promise that both of them kept to eachother and it will be a promise that it wasn't going to break.

"I want you.. to gwuide me two! I want... to ... help... right? I uhh... I can... lwearn how to uhh.... heal with water magic!~ Yeah. I can do that..." Ariella smiled at Dominic giving him the peace sign with her left hand, and two fingers! She had no idea what her.. potential mother figure, Van Alen would say about this little thing.. would she be proud of them.. ? Or against it...? Are they even doing the good thing or the bad thing? They were only kids so they didn't technically knew what was right or wrong.. all they wanted to do was stop the fighting.

Ariella looked at Avion smiling. "Avion... I will nevweeeer, leave you!~" she looked at Tidus joining as well. Ofcourse he would join... Avion was Tidus's little brother.. and Avion was her bestfriend..! So they ofcourse would never leave Avion alone. They will join together!~
(Ariella Cadenza)
[15:19:24] Avion Godric: <*stare of determination to bring a better good*>
[15:21:58] For how cheesy it was, the display was working. At least some of them were swayed by glorious wings of rieka, even if they did look strikingly similar to the wings of the angel who killed so many in Frostvale. But they were green, which was friendlier! In a way.

"Studies..." Dominic's voice grew soft as he contemplated, listening still to each of them in turn. Didn't know to be a solider, didn't know to be a crafter. Still could be a scholar. Wasn't (re)education the future? Perhaps the odd Krausite had a point. "Perhaps so!"

"Ch--Avion! Avion Godric, what do you wish to make? What do you desire? You ask for guidance--but I don't think it's time for this. So young! What I want from you is to explore! To dream and imagine! Think of what you want, think of how you will do it, and when you grow in age and power I--No! The Empire! Will make it a reality!"

Though his guise of benevolence and understanding was strong, there was again a moment of falt as the oddly accented woman spoke on the sidelines. Her words were visible, and a slight bit of an ego boost becaue damn did the king love his wings, but to be called full of shit!

Rude!

The king continued to float in the air through supernal means, the wings themselves being a blessing from Azrael himself given to all Oscuri--though Dominic was a bit more flamboyant then most with his design. Perhaps far more flamboyant then most.

Attention shifted to Tidus as the wee tot attempted his own brand of magic to match the elder Oscuri. It was a poor imitation, granted, but it was an attempt made! And that was what mattered. He showed promise and dedication!

"Family bonds! Good, good! The Empire adores a strong family unit with no ulterior emotions to cloud it!" Dominic's voice echoed out through the town square before the tower as he continued to make a show out of his 'display'. "Do you know what the Empire stands for, children? Before you dedicate yourself to it? Balance! Order! Stability! We strive to keep everyone safe and sound from petty conflict and drama that hurt the world before Aria arrived! To keep the peace and have everyone understand that peaceful cooperation is what to strive for!"

"Each of you!" The king's arm shot out, pointed finger passing by each of the children one by one. "The best thing you can do is learn! Find a lesser teacher, learn to read! Learn to rune! Learn to master the mana inside! Grow in strength, then return to even Aria or Myself! We can show mastery--but you need to learn the ropes first! You need to be the building block that the world builds on! Each of you--the future!"

Holy shit the man was getting very sappy and rote with his 'inspirational' speech.

"That's what I--And the Empire--asks of you. Can you do this?"

[15:21:58] Dominic Falco: brb))
[15:23:40] Jacquelyne still wasn't that confident in the Empire at all, distrust beginning to cloud her mind as she watched her friends join the ranks of people like Judeal Loki and Aria Hirano. It pretty much digusted her, how people could just latch onto a trend without knowing anything, but she knew that Avion was probably just joining to gain power. She shook her head profusely, beginning to turn away from the group.

"My friends are throwing their lives like it's trash, I'm not going to go down that path." she thought to herself, beginning to turn her head and look backwards. Her tail stood up straight, not wagging anymore but staying at alert as she stared. The ookami's right ear twitched, sniffing slightly before turning back east.

"Bye. I'm not joining you guys, sorry." she simply retorted, before beginning to walk away.
(Jacquelyne)
[15:25:23] Desdemona Veltican: <*A young woman clad in a silken dress merely waved at the Ookami as she slowly walked past*>
[15:26:14] Jacquelyne: <*nods*>
[15:27:56] Appius stood a few feet away from Avion, Tidus, Dominic and everyone else,honestly, he did enjoy Dominic's show, it was just a way of educating himself how to passively squeeze his own ideals into people's minds, making them believe what you wanted them to. A smile spread across his hidden lips, quite amused, he knew what was really going on, whether anyone else wanted to open up their eyes and see it was their problem.

However what really caught his attention were the giant oscuri wings penetrating from his back, that was something you don't see everyday.

What.. What is.. How!?.. The Empire is sickening me even more now.. he thought as he stared at Dominic's oscuri form, he looked around at the crowd, all brainwashed by the man's words. How badly he wished he could take down the Empire, right now, but not yet, he needed more power, perhaps even more allies and that is precisely why he wouln't allow this so easily.

"Listen to me children, do not be swayed by this man's words, the Empire not only has power but persuasion, listen to me and leave now. Whhile you can." he urge, his voice stern.
(Appius)
[15:30:30] "... Very inspirational, your majesty." At the very least the necromancer had managed to turn that sour, hated look into a more flat, deadpan expression - and tone, too. While it wasn't the most... well said thing in the world, it was still a boon to the orphan-caring woman. Even if his version of "schooling" was "get powerful and be a wizard", but the result would probably be the same for a bunch of kids.

For a brief moment, Dominic actually earned Adrianna's resprite.
(Adrianna)
[15:33:55] Without hesitation to the thought with his brother and close friend Ariella standing by him, he nodded his head looking up to the great king "Yes! We can do it! We will learn to Rune, use mana and our strength as you told us today!" he was excited for the first time of his life to work towards something.

"I want to craft a living thing! A Lifestream Tree that will connect all of Valmasia to bring forth my reality! And then, true balance will be my next goal after I grow up to make this tree. From the stars and nature! " he smiled brightly , so inspired by the man like a flame fueled by all of the enhancing oils and gases.

The Godric child was so happy that his cosmic energy went to show in such a burst , though not dangerous, it showed around him and the child would not notice this, he would put it aside, despite the aura being around him for a minute, it was his excitement that clouded his mind, he looked back at his brother who has been with him from the start as well as Ariella.

"I will follow your words mister King! And fly just like you are one day! "

But what if this experiement of the future were to go wrong? OOPS!

Or it would go perfectly fine. SUCCESS!
(Avion Godric)

Unfortunately for Appius, the king's charisma was evident. What were the words of a scared commoner against the showmanship of a divinely blessed king? A 'mandate of heaven' he always called it.

With the display concluding, the winds of emerald rieka phased out of existance and dropped the king to the cobblestone below with a small impact of dust. A slight wobble, not entirely landing the move, shook the king before he regained composure and smiled out towards all of Danarium once more.

"Good, good! A lifestream tree--A fine goal! Something that benefit the people and, by proxy, the Empire! For the Empire is nothing but it's people's sum! What benefits them, benefits us! That, ultimately, is why we're always right. For going against the Empire is going against the wishes of the people."

"All of you." Dominic approached, resting a hand on Avion's shoulder as he overlooked his siblings. "I feel great things in the future for you. Do not lose sight of the way. Persevere, understand, and develop. The world will reward you."

Then, slowly, he turned with a small grin flashed to the priestess in white before retrurning to his wife's side and grasping her hand gently. As he sat his face changed--the forced smile slowly melting into one more genuine.

"I think--I think we did enough t'help Danarium today, Tink. Maybe not everythin' is inventin' 'n fixin', but inspirin' too?"

(Dominic Falco)
[15:50:08] Ariella nodded at Dominic. He was right .. they should find teachers and study, learn about stuff... typical things that kids like them should do now adays. "Alwight!~ We will do that... I pwomise! We will be the best.. learners... ever!" she said giving Dominic a thumbs up, and now her head turning to Tidus laughing. "But you didn't even do nothing! How are you tiwed...?"

"I need to ... learn more about.. .. water magwic..!" she said grabbing the basic magic water book from her pocket, looking at the cover. "We need a tutor..? Right?" Ariella asked Avion, staring at him, her head turned back at Dominic seeing him returning to the girl's side. "Hiiii!~" the girl waved at Tink being a friendly girl that she was.
(Ariella Cadenza)

[15:53:32] The words of the blessed King were beaten into the head of Avion, not physically! But each word he listened to with great interest. The child nodded his head "We wont let our dreams die! Promise! Hehe!" he said as Ariella soon asked a question about finding a tutor for all of this.

"Ye-yeah, we do!" he soon turned to his older brother "Brother! I think I'm going to make Tree people too! Hehe forest friends!! " he declared , this could be very possible with the right sets of magic and companions, the child then looked over to those around the area with a bright smile.

Innocent.

Blissful..

Dreams..

What will come of it?
