17:26:51	Sanctus: Meanwhile, back with Sanctus and Cipher...
17:27:33	Rumia: The two find themselves in a starry void, instead of the temple proper.
17:29:42	Sanctus looks around, totally unsure what to think of place they are in.
17:32:30	Rumia: The starry void below them gives way to a large stone platform, a single figure sits there in what looks to be a lounge chair, simply staring at them from where they are floating.
17:36:03	_Cipher: "Hm."
17:38:14	Rumia: Morri looks up at them with blank eyes, showing that is currently isn't awake, and this is just her dream world being expressed outword thanks to her magic.
17:39:32	_Cipher: "Let me go wake her up."
17:39:43	_Cipher clears his throat and walks over.
17:40:58	Rumia: Morri's eyes brighten, as the temple proper returns. She blinks a single time, before stretching in her seat. "Cipher... I wasn't expecting you to come back so soon... I'm guessing Lucretia got out of hand again?"
17:41:23	_Cipher: "Indeed, planted a little thing on Sakurano to likely observe."
17:42:16	_Cipher: "But I'm not here for that reason, this gentleman here wishes to see her."
17:42:20	_Cipher turns to Sanctus
17:44:05	Rumia: Morri frowns at that, before looking to Sanctus, her red eyes flashing purple for second.
17:45:01	Sanctus gulps.
17:48:19	Rumia: Morri's frown deepens, before she disappears from view.
17:49:14	_Cipher: "Perhaps bringing you here might have been a bad idea."
17:51:18	Rumia: Before long, a young silver haired girl makes her way into the foyer, annoyance written on her face as she holds her hand out to Cipher. "MY shard please?"
17:51:42	_Cipher takes it out, and contemplates, before putting it away again.
17:51:47	_Cipher: "How about, no."
17:51:54	_Cipher: "I'm not the one that broke a rule."
17:52:17	Sanctus blinks.
17:52:44	Rumia: The small girl looks livid at that, before huffing. "Okay fine... I can accept that. But it wasn't my fault in the first place."
17:52:56	_Cipher: "Are you sure it wasn't."
17:53:02	_Cipher: "I'd really like to hear what you have to say."
17:55:49	Sanctus: "Is that...Lucretia?"
17:56:00	_Cipher: "Yes, this is Lucretia."
17:57:07	Rumia: Lucretia gives Sanctus a small smirk. "So I'm not as... old as I was before. That's because I got in a little spot of trouble. But it's not like I've changed much. Not at all~"
17:57:31	Sanctus smiles. "I can tell."
17:58:55	Rumia: Lucretia crosses her arms over her chest. "Besides. Even like this I'm still brimming with power. That something no amount of deaging can take from me!"
17:59:12	_Cipher: "Not like you can use that power till your body ages."
18:00:10	Rumia: Lucretia gives him an annoyed look.
18:00:35	_Cipher makes a spiteful grin.
18:01:18	Sanctus sighs.
18:01:21	Rumia: Morri reappears at Cipher's side. "Should we even be allowing these two to meet?"
18:03:10	_Cipher: "She can't step foot out of this place anyways, letting them speak should be enough."
18:04:34	Sanctus: LIttle do they know he isn't much a person for talking.
18:05:06	Rumia: Lucretia sighs. "And there's the problem, darling. I can't leave. Not even my clones can leave... And that makes seeing you again that much harder. Oh sure, I could behave, and I probably will, but who knows when the warden and his guards will let me out?"
18:10:47	Sanctus sighs. "How...depressing."
18:13:07	Rumia: Morri keeps a close eye on Sanctus, even as Lucretia walks up to him. "Don't worry, they can't keep me here forever... well maybe they can, but what I mean is eventually, I'll get out, probably from good behavior, and I'll come find you. Make no mistake about that." She holds her hand out to him.
18:15:06	Sanctus takes Lucretia's hand.
18:16:09	Rumia: Lucretia smiles at him. "Just keep yourself safe... got it? Don't let those idiots kill you off because you were helping me... don't know what I'd do if that happened..."
18:23:10	Sanctus nods, hugging Lucretia.
18:23:35	_Cipher: "Hm, should almost be time to go."
18:24:16	Sanctus: "You need to behave then...Lucy."
18:25:19	Rumia: Lucretia growls at the nickname, before sighing into the hug. "Fine... I'll behave, for a bit. No promises though, seeing them annoyed is the most fun I get around here."
18:30:10	_Cipher: "I think it's about time now."
18:31:24	Sanctus turns to Cipher and nods.
18:32:23	_Cipher: "Where would you like me to transport you?"
18:38:37	Sanctus: "Back to the place you got me. I have to study the wildlife some more."
18:42:36	_Cipher: "Very well."
18:42:52	_Cipher walks over to Sanctus, and opens a portal next to him.
18:43:07	_Cipher: "Just follow that path down, you will end up where you were before."
18:43:19	_Cipher: "Rather, outside of that city."
18:58:51	Sanctus walks into the portal. "Thank you, Lucretia."
18:59:11	Rumia: Lucretia nods, before waving goodbye.



19:02:45	Walter is busy configuring a machine, next to it a featureless body in a test tube, and another empty test tube next to that one.
19:03:06	_Hunter: "Are you done with that yet? You've been taking a while."
19:04:25	Walter: "Give me a moment, unless you really want this to come out badly."
19:04:55	_Hunter twirls the staff in his hand.
19:05:02	Walter: "Alright, put the staff in the other tube."
19:05:13	_Hunter: "Finally."
19:05:21	_Hunter puts the rod into the tube, where it is suspended in the air.
19:06:36	Rumia: The rod flares red, as if asking what this will do.
19:06:53	Walter starts the machine, where it begins to spark. On the screen, a transfer bar shows up, something from the staff is slowly siphoned out of it and into the featureless body.
19:07:08	_Hunter: "You'll love this, don't worry."
19:07:15	_Hunter puts a maniac grin.
19:09:43	Rumia: The body ever so slowly morphs, tanned skin appearing first, then long black hair, followed by several runes carved into what look to be tattoo's over the femenine figures torso and upper legs. The figure gasps, opening her red eyes as the chaotic energy she gives off flares her runes, to proper clothe her in her dark black dress.
19:11:57	_Hunter: "So, fresh air at last?"
19:13:12	Rumia: The true Illebra sighs, putting a hand to her chest, then seemingly checking over herself, before nodding. "A perfect fit..."
19:13:35	Walter: "You can thank me for the success."
19:13:53	_Hunter: "It was my research."
19:14:05	Walter: "I completed your research."
19:14:16	_Hunter: "I-"
19:14:22	_Hunter thinks about his next comment.
19:14:33	Rumia: Illebra ignores the two squabbling, reaching out toward seemingly nothing.
19:15:24	_Hunter: "And beware of using your powers so freely, that body is only temporary."
19:15:50	Rumia: Reality warps before her, space bending to her rules, as the front of her castle appears through a hole in mid-air. "That's fine. My connection to my castle needs little energy."
19:16:19	_Hunter: "Planning on leaving so soon?"
19:17:00	Rumia: The woman snorts. "Leave you? When you're the only thing keeping me in once piece? I think not."
19:17:20	_Hunter: "So you've noticed."
19:17:25	_Hunter chuckles to himself.
19:17:56	_Hunter: "We will begin hunting the rest of my power soon, I think we'll be having a lot more company with us when we find them."
19:18:15	Walter: "Very well then, I will get ready."
19:18:21	Walter gets up and walks out of the room.
19:18:37	Rumia: The woman grins, as various small orbs shoot from the wreckage of the castle, gathering in her right hand. "These poor halflings. I think I'll have use for you all..."
19:19:19	Rumia: The wrecked castle disappears at that. She then turns to Hunter. "So... we're going to destroy them... right?"
19:19:22	_Hunter takes the staff out, and tosses it to Illebra.
19:19:27	_Hunter: "Oh yes we are."
19:19:58	_Hunter: "I was thinking let Cipher's pets wreak havoc on them first."
19:20:46	_Hunter: "That will be an adequate distraction for when I reclaim another fragment of power."
19:21:36	Rumia: Illebra catches the staff, before giving a grin that would send small children running. "Then you'll hear no complaints from me... just leave their leader and my other half to me."
19:21:50	_Hunter: "Gladly."
19:23:09	Walter returns, the only thing changed is the cape he wears over his clothes, it gives off a strange aura, but it does not flow off of the cape.
19:23:20	Walter: "Where shall we go next?"
19:24:17	_Hunter: "Straight to the north, where Cipher used to live."
19:24:28	_Hunter: "I hope he doesn't mind us trashing his old lab."
19:24:46	_Hunter laughs, opening a portal and dropping into it.
19:25:16	Walter: "He really does only teleport himself with that, what a bother."
19:25:42	Walter: The Red Eyes appears where Hunter was, its body expanding to create an archway into a shadow world.
19:26:03	Walter walks into it.
19:26:26	Walter: "At least he sent this one back to bring us there."
19:26:35	Rumia: Illebra frowns as she walks through, the souls now sealed within her right arm shiver in delight.


19:29:10	Rumia: Rembrant shivers from her perch upon one of the higher buildings around the Cathedral.
19:29:31	Kayneth is standing next to her.
19:29:41	Kayneth: "I take it you felt that as well?"
19:30:07	Rumia: Rembrant nods. "Like something just walked over my grave..."
19:30:38	Kayneth: "Strange metaphor, but yes, it is bad."
19:40:46	AndrewofDoom: Andrew had told them to split into their teams and work on their own strategies together for the day.
19:41:19	Bhel still is not well, and Luckyuro is staying away from him, and keeps mumbling something about 'he comes'. Bhel has started puking up black goo chunks
19:41:43	Zetta has spent the time breaking trees.
19:42:16	Rumia: Talia has been doing the same, to a much more fiery degree...
19:42:45	Luckyuro goes to find Andrew, zetta, or rumia
19:43:24	Zetta: "I've been...racking my brain thinking of a finishing move sort of thing."
19:43:58	Rumia: "Tesla Bolt!" Talia's fist, surrounded by lightning, along with her instant movement, shatters through the tree she had aimed for, along with three others behind it. "I'm sorry, what did you say? I can't hear you over the sound of trees falling!"
19:44:53	Zetta: "Adjust your ears."
19:44:54	Luckyuro comes up to the groups of Zetta and Talia "E-Excuse me..."
19:45:17	Zetta creates a lightning spear and throws it into the distance, creating a huge explosion that is visible from where they're standing.
19:45:37	Luckyuro: "Zetta..."
19:45:51	Rumia: Talia looks on with starry eyes. "Can you tech me that!?"
19:46:05	Zetta: "Uh, probably not."
19:46:38	Rumia: Talia points to Luckyuro. "Catgirl."
19:47:04	Zetta turns to Lucky.
19:47:10	Zetta: "What now?"
19:47:17	Luckyuro: "I think... we need to kill Bhel"
19:47:39	Rumia: Talia blinks in confusion at that.
19:48:04	Luckyuro: "He's showing... signs. really bad ones... that dad might be trying to come here through him"
19:50:35	Rumia: Talia looks to other side of the clearing, where Rumia is easily dodging Noel's fastest attacks, trying to train the demoniod with her own blade, the massive thing actually weighing quite a bit in Noel's hands.
19:53:29	Rumia: Talia frowns. "If this guy is such bad news... wouldn't the others with um... senses be able to tell?"
19:54:08	Rumia: Talia then smiles. "Maybe you're just worry over what amounts to a cold for him or something?"
19:54:26	Luckyuro: "i'm his sister... this is no cold"
19:58:25	Luckyuro: "he started coughing up black chunks... i am the one who always gets sick, and i have never even seen anything like that... this might be really bad"
19:59:04	*** ShatteredAwe joined #syrias [email protected]
19:59:07	Rumia: Talia looks to Zetta with a bit of worry. "Maybe the preist and nun lady would know something?"
19:59:24	Zetta: "Go ask them, they're on a building somewhere."
19:59:45	Luckyuro goes and tries to find them
20:00:25	Zetta: "If it really was that bad, he should have known not to come back at all."
20:01:10	Rumia: Talia shrugs. "Human's are supposed to be weird like that. He's at least close enough, right?"
20:04:38	Zetta: "Doesn't matter to me."
20:06:26	Rumia: Rembrant sees the catgirl coming toward them, alerting Kayneth with a small nudge.
20:06:49	Luckyuro walks towards them carefully "E-excuse me?"
20:07:03	Kayneth: "Hm?"
20:07:07	Kayneth turns to her.
20:07:38	Luckyuro: "I'm worried about my brother.. he's sick and i think a demon is trying to come through him"
20:08:10	Rumia: Rembrant raises an eyebrow. "Your brother is...?"
20:08:29	Luckyuro: "Bhel... he's part of the group with Zetta and andrew and the others"
20:10:00	Rumia: Rembrant blinks, before nodding. "Ah right... him. He's... not exactly human, is he?"
20:15:10	Kayneth: "We can put a sealing spell on him that prevents demonic possession."
20:20:10	Kayneth: "But that is the most we can do."
20:22:08	Luckyuro: back
20:22:44	Luckyuro: "I think it's worse than posession... i think it's trying to come here."
20:23:50	Luckyuro tells them the semptioms
20:24:21	Kayneth: "Same thing, it would block the demon from contacting him in any way."
20:24:33	Kayneth: "Rembrant is the spellmaster here, not me though."
20:24:41	Luckyuro nods "C-can you possibly put it on me too?"
20:25:47	Rumia: Rembrant blushes. "But... I mean... you're more experienced..."
20:28:42	Kayneth: "Yes, but you won't get better if I do it."
20:29:51	Rumia: Rembrant sighs. "Alright... I can get started on one for you... Your brother's may have to be a bit different though..."
20:30:09	Luckyuro: "huh?"
20:31:09	Rumia: Rembrant shakes her head. "Take me to him? I'll see what I have to do to make it safe for him."
20:32:51	Luckyuro nods and takes Rembrant to bhel, who is puking a pudle of black demonic substance
20:33:37	Kayneth follows.
20:34:09	Rumia: Rembrant grimaces at the sight, a small application of the divine energy flowing through her body banishes the foul gunk out of their realm.
20:35:36	Luckyuro: the black goop vanishes, but Bhel pukes another round of it, this one has black chunks in it
20:36:32	Rumia: Rembrant makes a face at the smell, before her face blanks, her training kicking in.
20:36:56	Luckyuro: Bhel falls to his side, holding his head with a hand
20:37:19	Rumia: Rembrant approaches Bhel, her Codex glowing at her hip as divine power flows through her hands.
20:38:15	Luckyuro: Bhel coughs some, looking at Rembrant
20:39:49	Rumia: Rembrant cups his face with her hands, giving him a gentle smile. "Don't worry. They won't be bothering you anymore."
20:40:24	Luckyuro: Bhel:"I can feel him... he's coming..." he then starts coughing violently
20:41:34	Rumia: The codex at her hip flares, as the divine energy runs through him. She doesn't even so much as flinch at his coughing getting on her, focused on warding off the foul demon plaguing this poor innocent.
20:42:08	Luckyuro: Bhels body starts siezing, demonic energy starting to be purged from him
20:44:02	Rumia: Rembrant closes her eyes. "May no demon step forth to claim this child. May he be plagued no longer by your torment." The divine power flowing through him seeks out the source of the possession, before mercilessly crushing it.
20:45:13	Luckyuro: the dark power pushes back, the strong force trying to take Bhel and destroy him pushing the light to a stalemate, then starting to push it back lightly
20:46:11	Kayneth puts his hand on Rembrant's shoulder, forcing a torrent of divine energy to overtake the dark
20:46:43	Rumia: Rembrant gives a small scowl, directing it back at the dark force. "Begone tormenter!"
20:47:00	Luckyuro: the dark is pushed out of him... into the surrounding air, as a black smog
20:47:12	Luckyuro: the smog then suddenly zooms at Lucky
20:48:03	Rumia: Rembrant moves to intercept it, her divine aura flaring out at it. "I said, begone!"
20:48:30	Luckyuro is pushes back by the light and the smog is intercepted
20:51:48	Rumia: Rembrant whips out the codex, the pages already flipping. "If you will not leave peacefully, I'll have no choice but to seal you away."
20:52:19	Luckyuro tries to grab bhel and run
20:56:46	Kayneth: "Be quick, Rembrant."
20:57:13	Rumia: Rembrant's aura flares, as the smog is drawn into the codex, her arms strain at the amount of willpower it's taking to not let it escape.
20:57:38	Luckyuro: the black smog is taken in and fully sealed
20:59:17	Rumia: Rembrant sighs in relief, the divine energy running through the book should eventually destroy the mind of that menace. The nun sways on her feet, utterly spent. "Did... Was that good?"
21:00:08	Luckyuro and Bhel fall to the ground, serverely weak
21:01:46	Kayneth nods.
21:01:51	Kayneth: "Very well done."
21:02:36	Rumia: Rembrant smiles, before falling to her knees to rest a bit.
21:03:19	Rumia's frowning visage can be seen sinking into the shadows a bit away from them.
