[18:59]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ the imps and servants setting up everything she needs has been set up, one ingredient was needed and that one out of reach perhaps, each pillar of power was already crafted and done and the main pillar glowed in energies of the abyss and demonic arcane magics.  The plume of feathers on her back was the source of her despite and  loathing, that she had been weeks gathering items and working for the ritual.  Her hand lifted and petted the head of the wyvern, she sent word to a certain nephilim to meet her there. Her nails moving over the scaley head of Opso while she waited.
[19:02]  Opsolai just let a little murr-type pure eminante from him, turning to a rumble as he eyed up the little imps for breakfast, licking his lips but opting to sit down and watch the swirly steam, and tilt his head at the strange ingrediants before him. What was all this about? Was miss's sick? Was there going to be a great bug yummu stew pot soon? Scratches the underneath of his chin with a foot. "what be?" he rumbled slowly.
[19:03] Nux: Something of a yawn escaped the man as he entered, a chirping, hopping imp at his side. The little thing so casually beating a fist against his armor every so often like he hadn't heard what it had to say a hundred times already. While he was, of course, curious as to what it was he was needed for.. He did have other reasons for not ignoring the measure completely and having something 'unfortunate' befall the little imp that had delivered such. Mainly looking for the Count and Vestis. One saying they had work for him, the other promising him a spar. Still, he'd step inside, eyes moving to the beast rather immediately. "You know, I feel like a post to tie things like that up outside would do this place wonders"
[19:08]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ smirks down to Opso and soothes him with the scratches and her voice hissed " don't worry, be strong" might confuse the poor wyvern.  Sensed the arrival and gazed over with a tilt of her head, this was always a difficult one , the aloof male didn't change much though the wing color made her own wings ruffle a little.  brow lifting " Opsolai doesn't need to be outside, he belongs where I am" said simply in her hissed voice.  " thank you for making an appearance" said with a nod, actually being more, nice then her norm.  " I"ll get to the point, because I hate wasting time.  " moving away from the wyvern to
[19:08]  the form of Nux and standing a few paces away with a sigh " I need your help" and that was not easy to admit, rather left a bad taste in her mouth.

[19:14]  Opsolai mumbles a little and lays flat. not happy with the white wing's comment of posts, checking on his feet chains, and poking his neck shackle as well. But yes, he was confused about being strong, yet trusted her words.

[19:17] Nux: He'd keep his gaze on the feathered beast for a drawn out moment- Somewhat because he didn't trust it.. Somewhat because he half expected it to shift into a man at any moment. Hearing Pharzuph however, he'd glance over, wings shifting to fold neatly against his back as he did so. He was about to comment, probably something rude and dismissive as per his norm but at her request of his help.. He'd pause, lips shutting rather immediately. Ah. There were exploits to be had here. Something he already had in mind and this.. More or less fell into place with it perfectly. "What do you need?"
[19:22]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ bit inside her lip with a sharp fang, rather steeled herself and lifted her head as Opso remained close and vigilant, the mount loyal to a fault which was appreciated.  She expects a no, or worse some deviant design for aid, typical currency in the abyss that was filled with dark creatures and vile designs.   Watching his face closely, untrusting but her cards to play were few and she had a task set.  His quick agreement made her wary but pressed on anyway. " I need to get rid of these" her wings lifting and dark feathers moving to her own hate of them. " lets say, it's not doing me any favors at the
[19:22]  moment.  I also need a sample of your essence. " putting the wings down, was too long of a story to explain " its...a curse" of sorts, imbalance, something that made her the ire of the maelstrom at the moment and subject too probably much of what nux himself went through.  " I have a ritual set up but, i need more power then I have in my stores, it takes more then one".

[19:35] Nux: His head tilted, something of an apathetic expression across his features. At her mention of it being a curse, he'd be silent a moment. "Is it?" He'd question, silence befalling the nephilim once more. Regardless of where he went, it so often felt everyone and everything was ready to denounce just what it was he- they were. "As much as I've tried.. I've found that no matter how far it is I go, my heritage is right behind me. Often rejected by the planes of divinity and the depths of the abyss merely for being.. No better is it that mortals often see me as a monster" He'd comment, gaze shifting off to the side as a hand lifted to wave dismissively. "Nonetheless.. If you're so wanting to do such a thing, I suppose I'll help but.. There's something I need help with. Something of a pet project, I suppose" He'd pause, wings shifting a bit. "Not help from you- I need.. Specific skills. I'll do this for you if you get that pooka to assist me for a night. I feel as if I tried to ask him myself out of the blue he'd
[19:35] Nux:  more or less dismiss me"

[19:43]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ moved back , a few imps running about still gathering, placing and trying not to get eaten by the wyvern that was near , did hope Opso was listening as it was too much to explain.  Lifted her head as he spoke, still held her resolve as she listened.  Her brow knit " but we are monsters, it's a fine line to walk, and ..maybe you are right" admittedly , spoken without emotion though at the request of the pooka her brow raised, might be a sore point right there.  Looking back to Opso as she weighted that in for a moment and gazed back to Nux, Odium would probably do anything she asked , her head nodded "
[19:43]  alright, I'll talk to him, He will say yes if I ask" might have sway there, more so then most.  " I can't kill it, it's part of me...but i can shift the balance and that is where you come in, you have the connection stronger ..I think I understand a bit more then I used too" turning as an imp places something in her hand, she holds it out displaced in her clawed fingers a small orb.

[19:50] Nux: His eyes on Pharzuph, something of a small grin tried to tug at the corners of his lips a moment. "Have you two not been getting along lately?" He'd question as he'd turn off towards what he assumed to be the ritual area. "Well.. Whether you two do or don't, I hardly care. As much as it.. Pains me so, I do need his assistance" He'd grunt, wings shifting a tad. There was that thing.. Where he did hate need help from anyone. Regardless of who it was. "Ignore it all you want, it's merely a temporary solution. No amount of rituals can ever really snuff it out.. Believe I've tried.. But. For now, let's get this over with. I'd rather not have this take all night"

[19:54]  Opsolai tilts his head a bit, so the pooka was needed for some ritual and Nux was to help Pharzuph with it too. Seems his mistress was in a pickle that violence coulon't solve. pity

[19:58]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ her jaw gritted when he digged a bit, honestly got he under her skin so easily though she does try to play it off.  " we get along fine" and settled that he needs assistance, the pooka still, it bothered her but she relented.  " you think i'm not aware?" didn't matter to her, she'd try to shift the balance and try to block it for now.  she tossed the orb to him " just put a small sample of your essence in there, i've gathered many and did alot of research " Waiting for that and hating of help was mutual for the stubborn Princess " fine with me" had alot to do as well.  She turned a moment, whispered an
[19:58]  order to the wyvern for a task later as an imp ran over with a vial.  " give me your claw" she held her hand out to opso and a summons sent to the sleepy pooka through another of the little chittering rats of the abyss, the imp taking off.

[20:04] Nux: At her comment, a brief smirk shifted onto his lips as he gave her a side glance. "Hmh. I'm sure you do" The nephilim chuckled, eyes setting upon the orb for a drawn out second. For a moment, he did have to wonder if they acted similar to the ones he often carried. Granted the orbs were for once vacant. As the orb was tossed, he'd grab it with relative ease. Shifting it back and forth in hand a moment, at her request of his.. Essence. He'd sigh, soon relenting as the orb slowly but steadily seemed to fill with a rather white, bright sort of energy. Something that dripped of divinity, no less. "If you use this to curse me in any way, shape or form I'll never forgive you" He'd comment, mostly joking.

[20:11]  Opsolai was observing the way they spoke, how serious the conversation seemed to carry a weight upon them, mostly to the mistress.
[20:13]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ the imps completed the drawings on the floor, the runes and work her fathers grimoire had put in detail of the ritual, seemed he had the same.. afflictions and .taking the claw of the wyvern, cut her talon into the padfoot of the mount, releasing the corruptive soaked blood with a small cut and placed into the vial she had all the elements needed now. Souls and blood seem to be the currency but, rituals were ..tricky.  As he filled the orb her nose curled that divinity she hated and tried to stay away from was sensed.  Just eyed him and smirked " If I wanted to hurt you , i'd just kick yer ass" she
[20:13]  hissed, fangs bared though not in a bad way, more joking but honestly she would, more violent and upfront.  Moving over to collect the orb the energies contained  and gave pause " don't.. mention this.., to anyone.  " a serious note in her eyes.  " really bad enough it got this far, as a favor." Waiting for the orb so she could get started.
[20:19] Nux: Once the orb had filled fully, he'd toss it over to the princess. Whether she caught it or not.. Well. That entirely depended on her. He certainly wouldn't be up to filling a second one for her. At her comment of kicking his ass, he'd roll his eyes, something of an annoyed sigh escaping his lips. "You and everyone else. I don't suppose any of you have seen me fight seriously" He'd comment, pausing a moment. Tyrrath and Vestis, maybe. Of course.. That was more or less Tyrrath's fault for hitting a nerve of his. "Demons are always so doom and gloom. You know.. A short lifetime ago, I stood aside many celestials in their ceaseless task of riding the world of dark. It was nice enough- Until they found my own conflictions more troublesome then anything and cast me down" He'd huff, vision turning back to the place of the ritual. "I'm still waiting for a wing.. But at this rate, I may just steal one from my brother. I'm sure he wouldn't miss it"

[20:27]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ caught the orb, carefully in her claws like it was glass about to break, more so it was dangerous, that divinity in made it far more precarious for her.  " I know you have capabilities, I was joking Nux" Turning her head as she finished with the blood.  " to think otherwise would just be.. stupid, just a shame you are so...on the fence with your place and finding it." maybe lazy, busy or something that kept him away.  " I know, I paid attention.  When I first met you actually" long ago in the dark woods. Moving over to the area of the ritual and the table and placing the orb there with the blood, the book
[20:27]  with her kins collection of dark magic placed. " oh.. wing.. there are a very small amount of those about...how about I get you my brothers wing? or is that too..dark?" as wolf was much like her in afflictions and bloodline, though, hard to say he was picky. " i'm not doom and gloom...I have duties.  There is a huge difference Nux and..." she gazed back. " I'm not sorry you were cast down...you are not as
[20:27]   bad as I thought, even if you stink like cake" .

[20:29]  Opsolai let out a small roar, or maybe it was a big roar as his claw is pricked and prodded for the essential blood, clenching his teeth and hissing like a hellfire steamtrain. "Grrrr! Kreee Ksss!" not happy, but not taking his rage out on his mistress, this was what was expected and needed of him, so he vents out by kicking a poor imp across the room, like a football punt.

[20:35]  Odium was rubbing at his eyes, if the pooka didn't know better he would have said he feel asleep in an dungoen.The animal though said good to all his pond friends as they needed to go back to the surface world before the hounds found him.The pooka returning them to the pond above before coming to the chapel curious what was happening at the moment.
[20:36] Nux: A sigh escaped the nephilim, silence overtaking him for a drawn out moment. Perhaps he had been rather.. Apprehensive lately. He had his reasons. Things he'd not tell another soul. Unless he was drunk, perhaps. "..It's not something any of us are used to. Stability, I suppose.. Even in our childhood" He'd speak softly, eyes shifting onto Pharzuph as she took her place in the center of the stones. Who had moved those in here.. Anyways? "We all have duties.. Which.. If that was all you needed of me, I may reattend to mine"

[20:45]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ an amused smirk as she heard an imp scream and the scream faded when Opso kicked it, amusing , poor wyvern but the wound would heal quick as it was just a small knick of the skin with her claw.  All the elements were place, each essence has it's own, the dark of her own kin, the death of a fae that festered, unfeeling and cold ice and the nephilim.  placing the vial in the center, balance was a precarious thing and she was intent to get it to the right spectrums by force of her own will and magic. Maybe a few things had stung from the goblin but the curse was worse, at the moment couldn't lie without
[20:45]  burning , even if she used truth as a bitter weapon.  the page set and everything arranged.  Her jaw had clicked, teeth hitting each other.  As odium made his way in she gazed at him " just in time" she gave a light pull her lips into a grin.  " Odium, I need a favor, or rather, I need to ask you to Help Nux with something for me.  if you will" she did ask but didn't figure the pooka would mind.  Gazing back to
[20:45]   nux with a brow lift " stability?  I make my own fate, you need to take things Stand taller and be prouder of what you are.  If you expect your environment to change, then make it change not wait for it.  Nothing is stable in our world, or.. secure.  Its that chaos and strife that makes us what we are. " she looked back and frowned. " I understand a little more then I wanted too, but I won't let anyone take away what I want, they can say what they anything , but I bounce back fast, I don't let anyone hold me back or down" strong confidence and resolve as always " maybe you need to stand up to others , instead of fading back"
[20:45]  she turns to motion him.. " into the runes.  don't worry, it won't kill you.. I need both our energies, I'll make you a sword to make up for the energy loss.  " did tend to keep her word on that one.

[20:57] Nymphetamine Crepuscule (nymph.zenith): (*what they want*derp)
[21:03]  Opsolai let out a huff after having a good kick of a poor imp and turned his head to look at the approuching poookah, huis head went up and his feathered spiked up in all directions, as if spooked. His lips curled to a snarl just a bitand he scoots behind mistress with unhappy intent and promptly sits behind her. The pooka was a bit...unpredictable for the beast.
[21:03]  Opsolai * by behind I ment, behhind one of those stone things
[21:06]  Odium would look to the one of many wings his brows knitting together as his kind were many and he had an bit of an time differentiating them all.The lingering small of cake however reminded the fae this one had an sibling that liked the beat on him."O-Oh you need help?Well I can try my best to aid you".The ritual circle and surrounding stones wildly unfamiliar to the fae ,but Phar's words alone suggested this was her current pet project she had been scheming on."Ah...so this is what's been stealing you?"The fae should suggest as he stood on standby.His eyes rolled to each of the 3 stone alters trying to read what was craved
[21:06]  upon the rock.Hearing the hellbeast growling at him, the fae offers his palm out to the creature to sniff sniff at for Opsolai .The pooka showing he meant no harm to this one.
[21:09] Nux: While a part of him certainly wanted to depart and crawl back into his hole in the wall.. He'd stay a bit longer, it seemed. Her response to his words didn't get much input from the nephilim. It was hard to explain. Him having lived two worlds and trying to choose one only to be thrown aside when it was convenient. Stepping up to the ritual area, he'd move to a rune, stepping onto it as asked. "I hardly use swords. However.. I wouldn't mind a polearm of sorts. I've asked Vestis to teach me how to use such things" He'd comment, eyes shifting to the pooka for a moment. Of course.. He still had little details to figure out with his task but soon, soon. "I wouldn't worry about it too much currently. There are still a few things I have to work out.. Arrangements, if you will. But when the time does come, I'll come to find you" He'd comment to the pooka, gaze soon shifting to Pharzuph as he now waited.

[21:21]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ Looking to odi she nodded her horned head, plotting stealing essences, bartering and more work then she really is accustomed too, spoiled princes. " yes. fathers old magic.  wish me luck" and she might need it.  She can sense things and always one to act on impulses, no sensors from her thoughts to mind plus, her balance shifted it's been a weird trail of sorts of thoughts, feelings and actions. Hands lifting as she moves the orbs into the runes..so carefully, each essence had it's place.  It sparked the runes and the energies going upwards like some wierd electrical storm..bit her lip with a
[21:21]  fang..dangerous..had to trust her fathers old tome.  she took the blood from the wyvern and poured in around the cirlce, adding a small chant in a whisper as she did.  Pausing as she put her senses outward to the energy flow. She gave Nux a look " and then.. we never see you again" smirked a bit lightly teasing, as elusive as ever but she was used to it.  " pole arm it is, give me a week" might take that long.  " I can
[21:21]   help teach if she is busy" since she has been running things often with the malestrom, taking her role as heir was .. tough but she has incentive. And it was time to start.. she gave warning. " take your gloves off.  I"m going to connect our energies and pull yours, eventually when it's strong enough , I will toss you out so the runes won't effect you.  Try not to land on the pooka" Not so much nervous, she was getting up there in her magics but this was old magic and if anything more cautious.  " when I step in, put your hands on mine.." was as ready as she could be.  She let the shadows move into each of the essences she had,
[21:21]  death and dark seemed to be the strongest in them all.  Gave a look to odi, and stepped into the rune circle over the blood. She put her hands up in front of her palms out, waiting for nux to do the same.  the two within , it would begin to shift, spark and warp.

[21:30]  Opsolai sniffed at the pooka and settled down, seemingly well-off to know, the pookah isnt making any random magic trickery. for now. But his eyes snapto the on-going rituaol. oooh.

[21:32]  Odium tipped his horns politely at Nux."Understood.I'll be around when you finish with your preparations".He mentions before laughing wildly at Phar as he held his hands behind his back swaying side to side on his webbed Platypuss feet."Oh you don't need luck Phar.You carve out your own fate remember?"He mentions in an snickering tone shaking his head in playful waves before stepping back some.The fae standing more-so behind one of the pillars of rock hearing their might be causalitys and he was trying any pooka-pancakes today.Seeing Opsolai calm down though he reached into his pocket offering an sun dried pixie to the beast in
[21:32]  case he was still hungry.
[21:32] Peace (sweet.darkfury): to avoid*
[21:35] Nux: At Pharzuph's comment of him being ever elusive, he'd let out something of a chuckle in response. "I get busy but I'll be around more" He'd mention, hands moving to pull off his own gloves as requested. As much.. As he did despise having his hands in the open air. It was a general filth thing he'd picked up sometime during the years.. He just couldn't remember as to why. Hands raising a bit however, he'd keep his gaze on Pharzuph. "I'm ready when you- But.. Try not to explode either of us, alright?" He'd tease lightly.

[21:45]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ gave a nod too pooka " truth" but her mind on Appylon for this one purpose seems to make the princess grow up a bit to see her goals and attain them.  In the circle it was, a flux, vortex of magic, shadow, and flowing death and then freezing cold. The essences at each point seem to flow to light, almost spirit form as the rise up and meld into the flow of the circle, bracing herself for what is to come. "I make no promises....but... thank you" quietly said to nux.  Her hands lifted and she pressed her palms to his, her dark skin alot  warmer then any mortals.  Upon touch she would begin to draw his
[21:45]  energies from both sides of him, her energies though darker spawned connected for a moment.  Not much difference in the celestials and infernals then aspects of light and dark when you got to the base of it, almost twins designed to forever be at odds as polar opposites in eternal wars of immortals .  she wouldn't stop pulling his energies like a sponge as it filtered out him, weakening.  She didn't see him in
[21:45]   front of him anymore , white hot currents were flowing through her in a deep burn and she would begin to chant in deep demonic tones. "
  With light comes the night for those who don’t deserve to see the light of day With day comes the night and never leaves herald of the darkness where all shall end I invoke thee Shadows from Below rise forth as summoned
It would get worse for nux and her, her jaw clenched as the essences at the points were starting to spin and the shadows of the room were pulled into the vortex.  She felt the rise of power inside and as promised when she had pulled enough of the energies from the nephilim there
[21:45]  would be a sudden expulsion from the runed circle, perhaps a bit violently.  The connection cut and he was freed but .. that was only the start for her
[21:57]  Odium offered an comforting smile that reached the corner of his eyes an  aloof wink  to the woman's words.The fae here more-so here for moral support then anything else.The pooka for the most part understood it was going be the woman efforts that made or breaked the ritual she chose to be an part off.Looking to the hellbeast now the fae would scoot closer trying to brush against the animal and look the creature over."You have such nice feathers"He mentions in an soft and gentle tone, cooing at the beast ."May I preen them?"He asks ."It's very relaxing, promise.".
[22:03]
ꜰʟᴀᴛ ʀᴏʟʟ | ɴᴜx ʀᴏʟʟꜱ (66).
[22:07] Nux: Perhaps before this had all started, he should've inquired a bit further into just what it was she was aiming to do- How she was going to do it. The moment her hands gripped his own, it was too late, it seemed. He'd clutch hers, at least rather intent of not letting go until she needed. Although the moment both sides of him were tugged simultaneously, he'd narrow his eyes. At first. It was doable, manageable. The 'light' in him doing it's best to keep down the 'dark'.. But more and more, as his divinity was seemingly chipped away at, would he seem to falter. Hair darkening as eyes began to tinge red before purple. A scowl upon his features as it was.. Certainly not a good feeling. For Pharzuph however, he'd endure, silently. A few beads of sweat beginning to roll down his face as his wings began to blacken next, horns beginning to sprout and grow as halos flickered and extinguished. With a heavy breath, his tail slithered free from his armor- The man beginning to feel anything but well until rather suddenly
[22:07] Nux:  and just like that, he was expelled from the circle. Violently. Perhaps if he could've braced himself, his fall would've been more graceful.. But no, he'd be launched at the far floor, hitting it hard as he'd skid across it- Rolling a few times before coming to a slow, rather banged up stop. Where he landed is where he'd stay, merely reflecting on life as Pharzuph continued her ritual. (I'm not feeling the best so I'm gonna dip out, assume he's being a mopey floor baby XD)

[22:12]  ╈ Pharzuph Crepuscule ╈ and that was a whole lot of energy since the nephilim had more then what was needed but her own , the two polars felt like it would pull her apart. She had to wait for the rest of the ritual and spell to work as he was safe from the effects , the essences she took that were spinning exploded suddenly into pinpoints like daggers, each one would slam into her like daggers, her mouth opened but no sound escaped a scream. the shadows pulled into it turned the vortex and runes black as night, rising up like tendrils and snaking into her, binding and pushing back the aspects of the spark in her.  Invocation of
[22:12]  the shadows infested her pulling energies and offset from nux as she absorbed it and his sin.  the ritual didn't end in a bang, but a slow burn as the essences worked to pull the spark back into the shadows of her core in a binding hold of shadowed tendrils, purging the curse and light, like a black fire that rolled over her, the feathers burned away and the dark returned, shadows flowing from her form and
[22:12]   back renewed and the leathery feel of her wings manifested again..she dropped to her knee's and retched, white sunlight as the shadows purged what was put in in a violent nature that wracked through her and ate it away. she sat there as the ritual was done, exausted and numbed with a sudden...urge for cake while nux was a floor mop?
