Holy 2 - Seal usage

[23:56] It is upon the words spoken by the High lord himself that the creature took a step passed Kofe. A cigarette lying within his mouth. His left hand finding comfort within his right hand lied an object which seems to be grasped within a coat of dark ichor. The glare gifted to the High lord was of a piercing crimson, piercing as the thorns and crimson as the young blossomed petals.

"... A peaceful end...", he spoke of a mellowed voice, a cloud of smoke coming off his mouth.

The mimic clearly had enough living like this. HE became a tool and he hated it. It is upon the flourishment of that smile upon his, face that the dark butterflies were soon found to be swaying upon his frame as the divine artist gifted of his strokes of brush. The seven arms which usually tightly grasps his frame soon rose to greet it's new opponent.

… Seven arms... Seven sin...

"... I am a sin spawn... High lord... Don't tell me you expect a peaceful end..."

A labored sway of his right arm allowed the mask of Hellebore to make itself relevant. "... I have lived enough torture... From yo.. From everyone else...", the nethradin's cries soon flourished as the creature put the mask on.

"... You better be ready..."

The nethradin of seven arms soon grew stronger behind him. It made itself relevant as it menacingly stared upon the high lord.

[23:58] Off to the sideline, the young Greycloak is forced to watch it happen again, in the exact same way..

Only, this time, it was freed. Not captured. As his uncle prepared to murder it, things became evident that it planned to fight back.

"..No! He's right. You don't deserve it. I was wrong.."

Renly draws his own bow, shutting his eyes as he began to draw back the drawstring. Between his finger, and the bow, a green arrow of crystal begins to grow.

He makes the mistake of firing first, which might unfortunately draw it's attention..
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:58] Ro says, "..."
[00:01] With Vex revealing his 'truer' self, the Teraphim scowled. "You see? This is what these creatures really are. It admits its form, its purpose. The faces of skin they wear are only meant to lull us into a moment of weakness." Finn had drawn his own arrow and was ready to fire on the monster, but Renly was quick to step up.

With the Greycloak's own arrow loosed toward Hellbore, the two would likely clash before Finn could make his move.

"Renly!" he called out, fear striking through the elder Teraphim as he feared for his nephew's safety. If something terrible happened, Finn would be there to rescue him.

[00:04] "Kill it quick."

A shrug comes as he pulls out the Celestial Codex and reads.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:07] Rella gives a loooooooong look at Kofe.
(Rella Caller)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:08] Kofe says, "..."
[00:14] The mask of a wide side soon faced Renly. The creature begun to shake his head playfully, it became a totally different persona.

"... You said we were friends..."

… When he thinks that Renly said he was his friend... How unfortunate he is...

"... So much unfortunate I am not human... Right?..."

A first step forward grew the air about them fully dark. It was only the Mimic and Renly facing each others in the abyss. It is the abyss, dark... Yet the voices are heard as decapitated corpses of nethradins were seen to be crawling about him.

"... Do you like my home Renly?..."

The knife eared human's perception of the mimic grew glitched. Any form of sight to his frame became impossible.

"... I hope you do... Even the most beautiful flowers grow mellow in the dark... You are gonna regret defending him..."

Even though Renly is one precious flower amongst the others, the decision was taken. His time had come and the seven arms of the furious nethradin rising was a proof of it being truth. It became clear to everyone, Vex has been lying since the very beginning.
(Hellebore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:20] Renly seems taken aback for words … but it felt like something drove him, here. Some will to do good..

.. or at least, what his uncle said.

"I wanted to be your friend.." He spoke, almost in a whisper to himself. His grip on the bow was iron, unwilling to let go as he held it tightly. "I wanted to be your friend, and prove that you could change.."

It was clear that the shadow mage didn't want to. As he threatened to strike his uncle. As he prepared to fight back.. As his vision clouds, he's not sure if it's because of any illusions-- shadows, the overwhelming darkness, or.. his tears.

"..I don't want to do this. Please just stop. We can be friends, I promise.. I promise we can be friends.."

He pulls out a small sheet of paper; that depicting a golden star, the depiction of Sae.. and he wraps it around the grip of his bow. It was holy, it was exorcism. The essence of goodness itself as he prepared to enchant every arrow he shot next with it.

"Stand down, Vex. I can still fix this. I promise you.."

Renly fires his arrow, regardless; instead of being pure crystal, it now shone with the light of holy magic. He would strike through the darkness. He would put down the creature of the night.

Finley Ghede versus his arch nemesis Nebula Lockwood, only in the next generation of Essharan magi. How it was always fated to be.
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:22] Rella Caller says, "There's that skin-crawling feeling again..."
[00:24] Kofe says, "Stop looking at the illusions."
[00:25] Rella blinks towards Kofe, visibly confused --
(Rella Caller)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:33] A blow of the wind passed to gift his coat and hair of a brush. The creature stood here, watching him on his sorrow. Upon the flourishment of that feeling called mercy upon a living sin, the seven sins to be exact.

Because what else could symbolize the seven arms behind him and the nethradin attached to it. That nethradin was his source of feelings from the beginning, Vex cannot feel empathy. Disregarding that.... He stared.

A tear blossomed off the Teraphim's cheek, it brought the mimic's head into a tilt as it watched the tear gently fall off his cheek as if a young blossomed flower lost it's petal before the day he grows mellow.

The shot sent toward him was easily avoided and the flourishment of the Teraphim's light brought the nethradins to crawl back in retreat.

… Those are mere illusions anyway...

"... I am sorry... Renly... You cannot change anything."

It is the flourishment of Renly's light that brought the air about him to be of a blinding white instead of dark as an abyss. The mimic however did not step back and the Nethradin behind him was merely present to aid him.

"... I am a sin... Renly... I cannot be cured... It can never be helped... Amalia tried... I have lied to her..."

He has nothing to hide at this point. Vex was broken enough, all he desires is to see his existence fade as his brother Naborea. As a hivemind, he felt the death of Naborea, it was the only mimic who believed in Vex.

"... Your promises are nothing... It is the end..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:42] {Lost Dangerous RPB against Hellebore}
[00:42] * You have been awarded 5 Roleplay Points! *
[00:42] ** Hellebore has inflicted an injury upon Renly. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (4 days)") **
[00:44] A few blinks go in the direction of Renly and Vex, only finally deciding to step in to come and look between the young teraphim and the Sin. It was amusing, to say the least, that Renly would lose, and kind of shocking in general.

So, with a single claw coming to scoop the child, the Champion would go forth and look directly at Vex with a few ticks of his teeth coming.

"Well."

"Guess I have to clean up the job."

With the single bit of the claw coming in, he smiled.
(Ro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:00] Then the fight begun. The flourishment of the knife eared human's light brought the illusion to be more then an illusion, it became a spectacle. A place where is usually filled with nethradins crying their despair, it became a place where two stubborn dancers followed their own rhythm.

However, it was however close and the both mutually followed each other's rhythm. Renly for his age has given a beautiful performance, yet it was far from what Vex truly desired.

It is as Renly aimed to shot at him that the mimic quickly ran behind him and after a labored movement, he stroke Renly's back of his own cursed magic.

A stain of the illusionary magic however rests within Renly's mind for now. It is a way for a living sin to thank someone for a good fight. He was given visions of the nethradins crawling about him, crying for their past sins. They are stuck here and there is literally nothing to do to aid them.

Renly was gifted of those visions so he remembers of the reason why his light blossoms and it is to avoid anyone to fall so deep in the abyss. To fall under the heavy weight of sins before they end up like this or even... Like Vex.

The creature however took the decision to take that situation in profit. He glared upon Finley... Then Kofe…

"... You have two choices now..."

Renly was soon grasped in dark ichor, any form of movements can merely be difficult to him and at any moment he could die within the mimic's own dark ichor.

"... Either he dies... Either you leave me alone... I just want peace and I can't have it... "

Even as a living sin.... Deep within him... He does nott have the heart to kill Renly, but it was his chance to do something.
(Hellebore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:01] For now, Nephele quietly finds a place to Ro's side.

She needed to assess the situation somehow.
(Nephele Xenos)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:02] With Renly fallen to the ground, the High Lord was the first to step ahead, the first to save his nephew from whatever fate this mimic might have in mind. The world froze over, the streets of Nysea turned to winter and ice filled the cracks of the pavement. Ice and snow clung to the leaves of every nearby tree, to every blade of grass, and the High Lord's form quickly shifted into the ethereal.

Three cold-crystal arrows were let loose without question or hesitance.

The High Lord would not see his nephew fall into greater harm.

Along the howl of a wintry wind, he descended upon Vex to force the mimic back.

Vex's ultimatum went unheard or uncared for. The High Lord wouldn't negotiate with helspawn.
