Teen Titans; These New Years; Part One - Chapter 11: Our Iron Fortress Still Stands ; By The Shore, A Chosen Hero Loses In Solitude ; Light Shining Over The Horizon Marks A Tipping Point.
Ten million reasons came up that the Titan's very last fight should be held by the Jump City shoreline. It means coming to blows with reality, that no one will have the time of day to run from. Gotham will still be mentioned as if a cloud simply passed it by- Astarte rules the port; nothing will fly by her feline senses , not even her newest enemy Deathstroke if he comes 'a calling.
The light that had shielded the teen leader of the Titan chosen, reminded our main protagonist that the rays were as warm as Tsani's light from (Shadows and creatures arc.) She had been kept quiet from helping the chosen by the dragon's ploy, then found herself an embassador for the Ethereal realm amongst Celestial bodyguards! Aluehainyu is not aware of what Piper is readying to accomplish. She thinks the mission is going to be settled to an end soon, yet the Eternal scribe has no idea how powerful the new foe actually is! Aria is accused of having made a bargain on Lorelai's and the Titans' lives with Lilith in the ( To the future arc) to protect her old student from the owl mother succubus. Cecilia was petrified by the odd character that had forced the princess to do her worst upon the Wayne family manor. She still finds it hard to believe that the venom of the freak that had taken her to such lengths, was only to distract the group from the cursed marks Richard had been battling in the mean while!
She thinks the demonic spider calling them both by the title ; black widow enchantress, is not just all smoke and was hoping to bring a better aid as Greggory's protege,and broke her promise with Gar of the Titans by falling into the invisible trickster's trap.
Bao Shi is able to speak once again to the Ethereal seer Hakuro while on the run from an old band of spies of the Celestial fox mother's. He is sure that the rebel forces will welcome the news he plans to bring, but does not realize that his destination was only just the beginning. Even after I'll depict the trap he falls for from the Sky Villa Plaza. The inn keep was working for the soldier / turned hunter, from the same chase through the Celestial channels. Now, the rest of our heroes, guardians, and fighting forces; as the city's last hope, will have to call a retreat from having discovered more by simply going back a few spaces. Chapter eleven is set! Enjoy the rest of These New Years - Part One!
/
Shoji had known too many goodbyes from simply existing as a scout, spy , or mercenary throughout the ages. The city was calm as before, as if the night had been only an illusion caused by a passing enchantment unto the twighlight hour. Daybreak broke the full silence as the last of the teens had woken to pack up for Jump by a stray signal. Astarte and Isis, as well as Ava , Nina, and the fleet, had been transferred to the California area by a call in from Catherine Daia's own source. Bao Shi must have been tying tongues and pulling strings to have the sorceress and council's aid do by her whim. Alicia had contacted Greggory to find a teary and near infatuated elder sister cry a river , even as the two had only met far little than she'd recalled. Cici remembered past and present meetings , all just as a dream come true...such a romantic sibling..she ws an odd one indeed...
The blondes had reconnected with Aaron in London by the long distance call as well. Elder, Aaron 'Brocton' had taken care to both his mentor Flannigan, and the youngster overseas , while the coot teacher's caf had a new flair and a few more than average customers a week! Cafe Mort was a hit with slam poets on Friday, drinks on a special discount for regulars on weekends , and an interesting librarium that took classics such as crime and history, fantasy and many more genres of books to browse while sipping macchiato on a breezy winter's day. He had never felt more content since the black cat had crossed the hermit's path with young Allie on a romp through the windy city that year...
The news had also stunned the priestess Dearheart back in the spirit world; by her failure to hold the crime lord messenger accountable for his actions...the fact the dragon had invaded his mind against the man's wishes...she almost had pity for him for becoming a tool in only months of p...
She recalled that too. He had shaken on the task;a promise had been broken when he'd kept the aspect of the son from harm , later to allow the dragon a vessel in his time on the earthen plane. Slade's only real weakness , was that he tended to be somehow easy enough to lead astray by his very greed. However, Mr. Wilson now had split feelings over the chosen's leader's circumstance, since the consequences were not for the assassin's benefit any longer... If to help or to harm had seemed wrong before, the teen child was now falling back into the voidless sleep only the marks could bring. The dragon had the Titan running blind into his own false sense of security over his own future. If Hakuro had not been predicted to show in that location by a trip through a vortex ...then the hero might have lost himself to the maddening glare of the cretin in red before his friends would have had any clue as to where their leader had run off towards..
Slade had a slate matted down with regrets...Not too far off from the dragon's ...own...
She covered her lips to stifle a small gasp.. The dragon was planning something...her old charge was still in terrible danger! Hakuro had saved them both ..all alone inside the Titan's stronghold!
She carried her robes and tresses behind to flee towards the den of her own woodland nature. Melu was sound asleep atop a pile of sacred spell books sealed with branches of a powerful tree - that same tree had the power to heal affictions modern medicine might some day see, had just as much to bring as one single prick in the arm. That was of another day , as the sorceress shoved the younger witch's shoulder to rise and ready for the journey to traverse towards the western plane of the earthen realm of spirit. She had to visit dragon earth...he was going to end up a shell by the red beast in the mortal plane!
"Melu! Melu, my pupil!You must raise your head.. There is not much time remaining. The daphne have gone far off ..there is an uprising amid the sects of the dragon..Melu! The time to doze is not here! You must run far from here! I have warn..." She heard the rumbling of trampled earth. Shifting earth by some single eyed brute...it was no such disaster..
~House call for Priestess Dearheart!~Ron smirked by his unjustified entrance into the stratosphere. "No. There is no one by that name in this village! Go away!-
The splinters of wood by his lightening element shattered away into fine powder to reveal the sorceress forcing her dear student to hold onto her shoulders. Ron was no better than a bully by his regal appearance into a lady's household. "Step back from this shack!" She warned with the eyes of her elven cousins brimming a bright green. Wood and the fine partixcles that had been her front door were tossed into the brat pooch's sights with speed enough to not truly dodge a single shock of lightening in the process. ~You are requested..cough!*..By Madame Sayumon of-
"Pup of your beloved mumsy? How may you even be related to that fox? She is using your powers in a spiteful manner, your papa was not as blinded by rage as she is to- day! Flee her control, otherwise your whole life will revolve around serving a witty vixen that uses her own blood to gain presidge!" Melu mumbled a few sounds as the two darted further off into the forest out back of the wooden hut. The vllage was deserted. Yet this was not the danger the earth had warned the priestess of originally. He was in serious danger if his life meant too little to run and hide! Sayumon had lost touch with those around her...no longer could the kindred kitsune of the spirit world weep for the mistress. She had brought shame by her antics as a temptress in the past, ruining relations between other sects of her council of fools...why was she acting the villain!? The truth was not clear enough to bring about to the universal or Eternal courts yet..Sayu had lost her way...this was no better than becoming the trickster of her being that was a threat, not an aid as before..
"Fur will fly...I must warn my earthen brethren to the west!" The northern area was centered by where Lori's great grandfather had once settled after his long crusade. His mission to the deserts had been the epitome in which his descendants would fall prey to the king dragon..Just as those years gone by, the castle lay abandoned by the moor. Her own memory of the threshold was of the fleeting desire to become it's next ruler...the dragon lord had ruined it all...
The forest twisted for the child of wood to swiftly maneuver without harming a vine or twig- Ron did not wish to play by the new environment's rules, the cries of the manifested spirit dwelling within the brush tore at the sorceress's chest with a feeling of her deepest empathy. Her eyes had to avert even while the terrible marauder took alive to the vines, tugging and breaking limbs away painfully from their resting places.
~If I destroy this weed - infestation, you must come to bear their pain by meeting my demands! Mother Sayumon is the Celestial in charge of this deployment. I will not go back empty handed! Give in ..you and your assistant may be spared if you agree to the council's own terms-
"By what odds..." The priestess waved away the dying emotions of her very element. Her green gaze stole a glance into Ron's golden orbs. Filled with an anxiety if he could not finish up quickly...Melu had to remain...but earth of the west would be her keeper once the high magician of wood left without a trace...
"Let me please speak with my pupil..she will not be returning with us...I shall go as a representative for the spirit realm's plane of ancient Ireland." Even if that title was vague; compared to the fact that Lorelai was not ..she had to fib a little. It meant all of the ancient tribes of the pre - medieval sect...That was nearly all of spirit before the 11th century!
~You may...mumsy did give me the right to see the priestess of wood to her chambers...yet! Carry on with your last words before I fly us to the reundevous point.~He tapped his foot impatiently while the lady in billowing white sleeves nodded as coy as ever. "Melu...the task for you shall just only be your greatest journey yet. The letter I have entrusted will find you the way t ..to the last, stop." The younger yawned while her eyes still remained shut beside a large elm. "You have my undivided attention." The madame seer bowed to the flushed doggie ; with enough static electricty to keep him upright by her stance..seeming more formal than a country bumpkin?..
"I am Priscilla Dearheart. The wood elf requested to join your endevour to visit Lady Sayumon of the Celestial courts. " She smiled sweetly to bring an uncomfortable feel to the pup. He shivered a slight and only turned further, beet red.
~Like..wise. Malady is in wait if your arrival. We mustn't keep the official waiting forever? Then, if the student of yours is through, the wood will bring us back to civilization?~
The spirited miss snort to this, as it meant in 'royally, boorish boyscout ' terms; clear the path of these filthy vines now! Otherwise,.Sayu will have both our heads on a silver plater!' The laugh by this conclusive capture was not worth another loss of her berethren , none to give the elemental the pleasure of using more trickery against the elf of wood. Her cloak turned to soot as if in mourning, while the young Celestial cloud riding deity pondered just how many different ways she had up those monk's sleeves . Tricks to send him back with a wallop..or words to leave the dog speechless in the priestess's presence. They travelled the high road back towards the transit route , one that would make the journey a speedy one. Sayu would not wait forever if her darling child failed again..He was already marked by her whip of a tail from his face off with cousin Veravakumu having gone south!
Kaien had made it over far easier by his ability to transcend as a ray of sunlight. Teleportation was usually Raven's heaviest craft - nearly mastered since a young age, but she'd not been endowed with the ability from birth. Astral travel rather, had been a learned spell while living with the monks of Azarath. Kaien had not been very catty once the connection from above the Jump city skyline had raised hell onto billionaire Bruce Wayne's torn ego. Richard had..apparently been under the influence by the shackles ; placed on to his upper wrists as if tattooed there for a long time! The fire fox's response had not been to see into a report, nor to dive down into digging up an old set of memories that may have held any- such clues. He was off as a speeding bullet towards the chosen's lost leader's where abouts the previous night. The last cave in of a seriously dilapadated subway line, was positively brimming with a negative aura in the heart of Gotham's downtown. Miles from the waterways, and from the upper class neighborhood streets, Kaien in his kit form had sniffed around the spot. There, in the middle of the disturbance by a lone gas leak and a few rotting rat's nests, was Batman on the case. The pier side security guards of the block had also been able to spot martial art fighters..or of some sort, on the rooves of their facilties ; the docks had housed a slew of chemicals to ship a day late. The red alert had had very little to do with the other,as the heroes recognised a time bbble when it arose ; Alue had wanted to guessthe cause as an illusion to create weaker breaks in her comrade's city's magnetic field. The very barrier was starting to take back the city's security from another 'astral' level. Right after a wave of light had torn away the miasma decimating the walls , the entire city had been freed from a long night terror; one purely by mind games, yet not entirely a false prediction..
"Just what the heck came bulldozing outta here and into the subway? We thought..it was marked for demolition after a few cuts for any safe repairs..." Jim Gordon rubbed his chin and scanned the wreak as it was ; a full collapse into a larger subway transit , that might have actually become a catastrophe if it had plowed any further through to the other side!
Batgirl stood up tall and a bit a ways away from the wreckage. Her dear pops was on the signal as Batman's only trusted Watson to the force , as well as the ones scratching their heads , for the city of Gotham squadron without the dark detective's answers to every question. Yet now, Bats was stumped where he seemed like every other onlooker. Wasn't Robin still patrolling ...? Why was he not following his mentor as if he'd missed the action? She smelled something fishy. Babs decided to ask the crusading, dark knight once he was out of the GCPD's sights. Then, he would tell the comish's daughter every detail about her leave that holiday, and the new arrival's entrance through the gates of Wayne Manor. Selina had been seen snooping around as well, her head less full of twinkling diamonds and petty thefts; more so serious and almost lifeless as the bedraggled feline with few lives remaining...She had testified and been found not guilty by the jury after the bride to be ...was it not Kyle that had done him in? The thought puzzled the nearly grown heroine a she cast light away from her high-flying form, to not let the bat suspect a thing just yet. ~ If the cat wasn't after the big boy ...then she had no idea who had been the contender from...what seemed too late to recall..~The sporty red head landed feet first onto the pavement of a nearby to cool her head. It wasn't just freezing outside, it was windy as mount everest with a chance of more snow. "I hate winter ." Batgirl huffed with a pout and walked off towards a small , side street to gather her info straight from-
"Hello little chica!" A rude, flamboyant red headed fellow; in his near fourties or later it seemed, was blocking her path with difficult eyes to bare away from. "Yikes! Warn a girl when there is some stalker-
"Sorry bout the intrusion...you have a bit of a resemblance to a certain hero in this city? It looks almost cute that you would wish to follow him around...any chance a bird walks alongside that merry band? Maybe , to his own tune?" This creeper was just too slick as he made the rogue side kick - call in shiver in disgust. "I don't think you know me..Well, tell this to-
"Who are you...and why are you so friendly with one of my partners?" The crusader of the night had appeared a ways behind Babs with a growl and sense...to possibly defend more than she could have guessed. "He has eyes only for a safe haven as of now." Lothos rambled on and found energy from a short whiles away , right by a food stand around the corner. He fed off of the mistrust of the owner and his disgust of his treatment as a simple vendor on a side corner. What Batman had no idea of, was that Lothos was channeling the energy to his partner in crime. Roku waited with fangs beared as sharp as the red hearted vamp's own.
"The child waits for you to let him leave this city? Then why am I not surprised..? You are a coward to have just shipped away our infinite meal ticket!-
"Batgirl! Out of the way!" Bruce sprang into action as her only fearless protector, but the heroine side kick refused to hide. She would not let the taunting, or threats go quietly. Robin was their target! Why was the christmas get together making her remember something having to do with this creep's words?
"I'm not going till you tell us who you are! Batman won't let you by either! You want a fight creeper? I won't hold back! What are you after! -
"The rest of my powers...are imbeded inside of your little comrade." The dragon waited until Lothos had to retreat , before then, he could freely grasp the girl's aura, and drink it out of it's essence !
"Bats, what the heck is chuckie over here saying?" She was blind to the fact that Ri..Robin had not come back as a hero. "Just stay out of the fight." The dark detective swished fowards and had the dazed teen stand aside. "I won't let you hide from me this time!" Batman was in it to win as Lothos was pressed back into the walls, brushed and bruised...but did not resist while the trail had gone towards a dead end in the road. He laughed maniacally while becoming a punching bag for all of the hero's frustration. Yet why was he refusing t-
"Bat!-
The partner of the crime fighter extraodinaire's was dragged into a puddle of a vortex while she bit and clawed her way to resist the freakish arms on the other end. "Leave her out of my!-
"You'll suffer together. Rather, you should pity your partner instead of taking your anger out on a shadow!" The demon drifted off into the same puddle resembling sludge. No longer a portal by that, yet it would only open for the spectre alone.
"Ugh..." The Bat raised his ears towards the sound behind him in a flash. "Batgirl! " He gasped and ran to drag her from the sludge turned to wallowing in the mud. The creatures had been called back. "Bat...man...cough!*...Why...why was that guy taking about Robin? What is he searching for? You never told me why you had that visit from him . Was this the reason?... Dickie is in soo much trouble once we find-
"He's being hurt. There is an other worldly...monster trying to use him, and now...I just hope that Gotham is finally free of the vampire ..-
Babs blinked, taken aback and staring into what seemed a long ways off of her partner's emotions. She gasped when it seemed too strange to mean...
"A vampire? Then, he's responsible for those women in my dad's file! We...just fought him and he ran on us!" She exclaimed with a look of bewilderment. "Then..he's going after Dick.." She stood up ; even covered in mud and grime, the girl looked determined to finish on lost time. "Take me with you to the cave." She demanded as her masked eyes faced the quieted Bat. "I want to help you stop the killer, and want to talk mano- e- mano with Robin."
Batman looked her over and to her dismay, had to shake his head with a fine line of a frown in place. "You can get into the Batcave , but Robin...isn't here. Let's discuss this not, out in the open. I have a feeling the vampire we are keeping tabs on elsewhere, may strike if things become to noisy...it can read minds. More to discuss in the cave ." She hadn't known to be impatient this time, he was right after all about privacy and keeping eyes and ears from their discussion about the boy wonder.
"Fine by me. Lead the way , chief." The girl saluted him cutely as the older crime fighter turned with her back to the bat mobile, not far away at all from their location.
The hero chosen...and a strange light...
He gasped to sit up on the carpet floor. The room...was in another city!
"This..isn't Gotham...
~Sorry for your descent...being a bit abrupt...Yet, there was no other way to depart from that trap!~
The light about the room formed into an old ally ; the teen Hakuro was a bit more mature in stature. His eyes were lighter due to the blindness, the hair of white and silver had grown as long as Kayumon's ...this was a shock...-
"Wait...you saved me...I remember! Hakuro? ...Why did you leave..." The teen grasped his skull with a miserable groan. "I...was fighting Lothos...but Slade helped him catch me ..in a subway!-
The teen Ethereal sighed with a weak smile and a shake of his head. ~I was actually able to fight off an old enemy. The Celestial Sayumon has a dark secret that I near cheated death to obtain the exact reason as to just why she hides secrets from her own allies..~ The hero looked up to the light child floating without a care in mid air above his room. Titans Tower. It had not been tainted, just left far from the care of the heroes that had no one to watch-
"Holy high flying saucer!" Bb's shrill shout and a finger pointed indicated that he had made it with Wiz, not far behind, and a sorry eyed ...Kori..
"We have made the drive in just the *knick of time." She seemed relieved, even after all of the painful words..and excuses he had ...
"Star...you shouldn't-
She swirved off towards the fallen teen . His hair still slightly a bit lengthy, but controlled thanks to Tsani's lanturn's light. "We were most afraid you had been stolen!" She cried out her heart to long, long enough for him to hug her back in earnest. "I'm...back...and so is he." The red head pulled away to see into the hero's unmasked gaze. "He? You are speaking of...-
She yipped in shock over the floating elder version of the younger Hakuro. "You must mean.."
~ I was able to grasp this dimension earlier , all due to a hunter catching me ..when having escaped, then I'd head for the distress signal felt by your team mate.~ The teen scratched his neck nervously and tried to let them know him as an ally. No longer a thirsting spirit with selfish intentions.
"Then...why are you not able to remain fully tangible?" Greg asked with arms crossed as a teacher to one's student. ~I was not strong enough...~ The light eyed seer peered longingly towards the horizon through the tall glass. "You used powers that were stored. Stored for something important. Last we had known of your agreement with A' , she had entrusted you to watch alongside Tsani in the Celestial realm and discern any evident signs of a rebellion. Why then, did you have your energy and Tsani's lanturn as well? This is odd to see, but you'd meant to come here. Tsani was not . You may have placed her in great danger by risking a life for another-
~Tsani is not responsible. I wanted to make ammends with my...old allies..And to do so, still I have yet to face the past of one comrade.. in particular-
"Which makes you a target!" Greg snapped. "The dragon has a soul stealer/ vampiric king as his newly- drawn host! Will that save you if you wish to return for her sake? If it is the prince's apology you crave, there is nothing to desire from it! He is gone. All that is to remain are his 'aspect selves' , floating aimlessly to make themselves whole." He shook his carrot coloured head of hair and let his large sorcerer's hat in his grasp crumple by harsh shakes in his fingertips holding it with an unwell tension. "You are risking much more...I will have to bring this to attention. The chosen will suffer by your indeci-
"No more!" Kori stopped the magician with a hand up in defense. "You will only regret this, he is here now! If there is anything Hakuro, may know...we may lose sight of what that might be! Sir ...Greggory...you doubt what was in the past. If he has reason to be excused, then the battle will only further." She stood from the leader of the Titan's side. "I was explained by the Princess Arianna; the way to fight the dragon, is to 'band as many' . Her words make this tireless war seem much more accessible through 'the effort of grouping!" She held a clenched fist to this strong willed Star child's mention of working together "The next task...we must bring the dragon to realize he is wrong!-
"But...the lizard is really slippery Star!" Bb rebuked with arms raised. "He has more bodies than an entire planet has people on it...and he can split like the cat, he is hard enough to face off against with running off and all to cause trouble..But , I think there is more to it. " Bb thought with a frown. "The only freak - out I'm not gonna stand for, is losing Rob to him! He is ..supposed to eat fear? Is he a monster, not a dragon?-
"Even immortals can lose their way. You know full well 'soul stealer' is borderline by daemon and lost spirit. There is no distinction between mortal , nor our kind in spirit once they turn!" Greg's hair was dishevled atop his head , while his gaze remained anxious and too serious . "The only difference is to help or harm. Their spiteful nature is no more than a deluded tantrum for not living as they see fit! Harm not those , for thee enemy remains only as thy very contempt." The teen changeling shrugged and had no clue if that sounded anti climatic , or just poor Wiz preaching to the choir...
"The...monster is only as 'those that harm.' How you claim it's easy to see by some way on earth; on my plane and the guardian's, it's not the same." Richard shook his head and forced his aches away with a grunt from the floor. "That , is not a law unless you live by it. The ones we are fighting are just wandering, like you said...he has only a thirst for power...Power..source...what is that." The teen looked up to the sorcerer with an accusational stare. "A beacon...but what is he looking to do with that ? Why is it a physical person and not an object...the prince's memories...he was one of those same tools. That was why we fought to get free. But...what happens if another powersource is around? When I end up winning or losing...will that make someone else suffer like the dragon's son and the Titans? Why is this not being stopped? And why is Hakuro saying...-
~ Sayumon's new squadron leader...is her older. The one Lilith ate partly by her dark powers infiltrating the kingdom of the Elemental sisters.~ The guardian wiz gaped to this. Bb tried to remember that day, that the kid had been stolen by the puppet freak for Lil to mess with. Starfire bit her lip. She did remember that morning too well.
"The very, rude soldier in which Arianna had spoken down to? He is not unwell any longer and ..-
~He chased me from the Eternal channel to this earthen one. I was able to alter a location by using Tsani's light, and thankfully...R...Robin was not far from my original... destination.~ He seemed shy to say that it had been Gotham he had set his sights onto . Greg would surely not let it pass.
"The...wait! He was the dude then!..you were chased by his mummy?" Bb exclaimed and was 'dead on 'with that guess , to a point this time at least for the moment.
The young Ethereal nod and knew it was a useless piece . The dragon could be close; he did not want the dark arts user breathing down his neck...not ever if he could prevent the others from the same ordeal again .
"How can we trust her then?"Greg grumbled by the red headeed heroine's question. "I was..sure she had not tried to decieve her own clan...it seems that was not the case. " The Ethereal child cocked his head to understand the sorcerer's thoughts. "Sayu...still carries a deep hatred for those weaker than she. She is not fit to rule. Yet, from what the guardians remaining and I have discovered, it is no better than she herself, turning...which could mean that the dragon may have a few spirit stationed as spies ..even Sayu could be a false replica or-
~Then...~The child breathed in his fear . Tsani could be discovered as a sneaking spy as well!
~I am going to defeat the red lord here, then..we shall obtain the truth to Sayu's rule over the council...so please!~ He knelt as low as he was able from mid air. His hair's tail flopped in long white strands over his blind sights. ~Let me fight to seek the real truth! I wish to stop the dragon...if he is the real obstruction and the one responsible for the Celestial's betrayal. I want to bring her..to justice!~
The Celestial's sole heir was sure of the expression plastered onto the rebel leader Lizzette's face. Her brow creased over a sent message in written script to their base. A childish style of an SoS from a wood elven survivor...yet she sounded to know a bitmoreas the tex played out, piece by piece. The youthful glow of the child Kelihatan later took on the previous form of his young adult body after hours in thge field with Batu. The light powers of the Celestial had become his again, though they were locked back to not gather attention of the lands he had once been born of. Here, he was a lowly spirit with as if rebirthed by another chance in that lifetime. Hecate had not come to see the kit in a long while since creatimg the means of escape - by abduction from his mother's palace.
"This s a cry for help.." The dirty blonde/ auburn sorceress huffed into her clasped hands while she read over the note. "The victim was a wood elf, one called Priscilla Dearheart of the green grove to the northern plains of europe..It is her student that beseeches to the rebels here, that she knows a great dealas a prophetess and magician that can see into space time...other worlds through a single blink." The miss looked back from behind her shoulder towards her comrades , readying the journey if she made it clearly of the utmost importance.
"Melu...it is odd that she would trust us this casually...there is a war in these lands...a tactless princess..possibly no sense of caution.." The lady sighed with a lean back int her seat. "I have not many that might be able to reach the abducted's location." She noted to her crew, with a head cocked curiously to the side. "The destination was to a higher realm than the Eternal . The Celestial that had take her teacher was quick to refuse her wishes to remain a while longer of course . With a rumbling thunderbolt , he stole away her mission." The fox in white broke the silence of the lesser fighters gathered round their queen. "A bolt of lightening...then the Celestial responsible was in fact...an Elemental!" They did not have to know about Ron as a half brother the boy called Kayumon Havariti.
"You catch on quick. That was a being connected to a powerful storm Elemental . You ...might even want to break code Kelihatan, if that is your wish?" The younger within Kay's unit blinked from beside Batu with a worried frown. "Keli?...Are you not too aware of the dangers? It is an offensive beast of the spirit world! This Melu is tellng us to risk our lives for a woodland guardian!" She put in. "The creatures of the Celestial realm are unkind if they find that you'll risk their security by going to that plane...You were only here a short while, yet even your magic is far greater by it's splendor! You are now connected to us for a lifetime..." She forbid herself from crying on the battlefield. Keli..was not a plain old spirit...and Lady Red had known by bringing the male here ...
"There is no room for betrayal." The madame in her seat sat up to then stand before her soldiers. "That will be if you do swear it so. Keli is my responsibility. If he dares to break code while under my orders without permission." She reassured and pointed to the fox . Bewildered, the dog stood still as a stone statue. She was buying him time. Lizzie really had been ready to face her demons...all thanks to finding her true potential as a rebel leader.
"I will be certain of his detainment, and the punishment if by his deceit, will be forever swiftly brought! This meeting is adjourned! Rest for a new day. The later trials will soon make us worthy to face them head on." The groups of those still raring for a meal, collectively assembled in front of a fire for warmth and nutrition, in the form of 'well done' trout. It should have been meat..real meat to leave the soldiers stuffed and satisfied. Yet the group felt no such desire to spoil themselves tonight with the dwindling provisions until morning's call. The market would hold the last items and a few days more, a rebellion was sure to follow.
Lady Lizzette called in the fox by talking to him through the powerful 'mind speak. ' His eyes wide a a cat's the guardian incognito swiftly lead himself towards her tent. She had been readying his armor for a good few moons since the arrival of the smart alec doggie prince. The quiet of her private domain left the fox on edge as light barely entered through the fabric, a barrier was cast around the spot to deter old nightmares from their victory over an old countess of the Lycan king. By her marraige she had thankfully not become a drooling beast. Instead, she had lived to serve as an enchantress. Meant only to keep the villagers unaware, the lady of her lord never spoken a word of the later loss..and turning to the darkness for a sigh of relief from her sorrows of his demise..
"You have all of your items, here I have for you-
She tugged at a suit of slightly slimming armor and a staff and sword her recognized too well. "Your old toys, I went to see about gathering them for your biggest trial . Your greatest woe is your own flesh and blood...we have discovered just how well a traitor she masks. The one that ; if you might recall correctly." Lizzette explained by word of unspoken dialect. She did not want to make the meeting too public, the walls were not all soundproof.
~She had been ambushed , her magic sabatoged by the one of a clan of spiders. Just before facing Rokuro's and Veravakumu's horrors by her own powers. The black widow thrives in it's victims if not balanced well with a mindful existance. If she had not been in the fight with Catherine Daia, the mother widow would not have clung to that vixen so tightly.~
The fox was unsure of how he could address this debate with words alone. It would mean he would have to return the heir..try to free the Celestial orderly...from her tainted heart..then...if she had no resistance...-
"It has been inside of Sayu for a rather, long, millenia, or far more. " The red haired soldier shook her head with a sigh. "Sayu may or may not be beyond saving. That will be up to her closest blood to decide." She wanted him to understand what losing a love one could bring...time could not heal those lost throughout it . The dead cannot live again. Many an old legend forbid the odds of of reanimation by the darkest desires of one's being brought as a physical reality. For their own wishes, it meant loss of one's real truth. No longer to live among their kind...to lose all of their credential as something greater...to protect...Sayumon had sullied all of her lovers and their children , those of her own family...was Kayu different? Did she want him to take on her rites? Was she simply a distant shadow of the real kitsune bride?..
"You will travel then, by the next nightfall. This Melu was not as foolish as she had been able to lead me to follow.." The once daemon lady tapped her chin as she waited for Kayu to switch his eyes towards her rather than towards the fine objects of war by the corner of the tent. "The child was a protege of one connected to the Ainsley line..yet also had relations to a wood elf...that I had found rather vexing.." Kayu switched his silvery gaze to look to the firey headed mistress in her garb for the night. "A wood elf...the Priscilla...is actually an old ally of dear cousin Veravakumu's ." The fox was sure her green eyes held interest, but it was too early. Her earlier mention as a creature of dark energies had vanished along with her old magics. She held the witch Bethel's oath. That she would not stray from the task. To bring the chosen she had once hated as another, to become heroes on their earthen realm again.
"Dearheart is in aquaintence with Elemental of Wood; Bao Shi Lan." He spok slowly to not trip up the maiden's heavily kept trust in the Celestial. "She was also documented as the runner up for Elemental of the eastern plane of spirit, but lost by defeat and trickery..to the dragon in his form as the red lord. She had no choice but to bide her time in captivity as his prisoner, to find a way to warn his new victims." The words sounded as fluid as being read to from the forbidden myth in question. "She was...a powerful magic user. The woodland's elven clans thrived by her prophecies -
"Yet, Dearheart was not as herself. She was a spy for both sides..even turning a hated villain to do for her cause what we could never..She was reborn temporarily alongside Veravakumu, in enacting a plan to catch the whereabouts of the dragon. Throughout their years, those two found it difficult to thrive unless human in form . If the chosen were to be born and rectify the degree of fighting ..then the two needed to blend into the mortal realm to decipher the rest." Kayu recalled the rain filled nights seated by his stationed post a few days by craft to the west. He was younger than Shoji in that realm; even if Kayu was older than Veravakumu by a month alone in the spirit world. Their difference in personalities was not changed though. Shoji was still as anxious as his foolish play boy self , while Kayu was a stickler , too stern to be an older ally to the cat. They were nearly matched in strength by fight and magical prowess. Catherine's friendship back then had been widely understood ; yet she had Veravakumu's mind set on one mission alone. "If the dragon ever tries to harm Lorelai's son or any of those that might grasp his secret...Verra would not hesitate in bringing them to confess, without mercy should they resist a fair enough..trial.." The fox breathed out as the words in the form of an old speech by his spirit warrior cousin emptied to fill the room. Silence still remained, yet Lizzette hushed him with a wave of her other wrist. "We are not here to be seen as this." She reminded the official's heir with a finger to her lips. "You are to vanish in a day's time. I only kept my end for Lady Hecate." She sniffed hautily as her old self sat languidly in the same spot . Her emerald eyes fixed onto an empty space in the dark of the war tent. "I made you swear unto it as well." The fox nod at the recollection of events. "Hecate knows you in particular; what you must do to vanquish the queen on high, as well as allowing the dragon to repent for all his wrong doings." Lizzie shrugged and smirked to the words, none of them felt as if they belonged to her..even after buffing her defenses to aid the rebellion's new generation. "Promise you will not look back. This is our promise together for a queen of netherworld prophecies whom wishes to give us the role of ..heroes." She scratched her auburn and wheat mixture tails as the fox left the rest with a respectful bow to his commander . "You made me again. Even without an underworld deity breathing down our necks." The mistress chuckled a thanks and waved again for the immortal son to retire to his group's tent. If the young acrobat miss from that small area caught the kit in the act, she might not understand her role in this fight in due time.
"I must at least be prepared to.. make ammends.." He sighed and shuffled off towards his cot under the stars.
/
Raven's teleportation via her immense light magic this time, had allowed ; Cyborg, Aluehainyu,, Malchior, and she herself to ride off towards the city of Jump. The three passengers had landed a ways away from the shore overlooking the T shaped structure. Raven saw Cyborg scan the spot and further away with the help of Alue's spiritual senses as well. Raven's gaze darted back towards the unit by her waist as soon as the others had frozen to crowd it from behind. Their stares made the receiving call all the more nerve racking without some free space..
"This is Raven." She spoke through the unit, taking in a breath in anticipation. "Where is your location. Over." The code of a hero wasn't as casual as the Teen Titans made it seem. A rule of walkie talkies throughout the ages had always the need for confidentiality via device. She just wanted to remember who they were again without any worries to tie the heroes down and back from this mission.
~Starfire, present. Raven, we are within the main room ...before the fight shall be ' breaking out' . Over! ...~
Raven gave a small shrug while the team around her shoulders made holding back, a difficult switch. "The main room. We have just made it by the other side of Jump City bay. See you in a few. Over." With a salute to the violet eyed empath the Tamaran royal left the connection with a quick nod.
"She's ok..they made it over with Greggory ...Cecilia isn't there yet. She went to find Alicia back in the Wiz's hut." Whiping her brow mentally, the girl had to crack a small smile . "I hope their reunion goes swimmingly and all, yet we havn't much less time to spare." Malchior pointed across the shore to the tower. Lights were dimmed enough to create a presence. "It won't be long before the puppet freak or vamp find that welcome too easy to spot. We had better head for the entrance. That way I can set up the white crystals that Vee handed over . He said they have the power to make the tower a fortress. If a barrier by my own texh isn't in need of a boost, it sounds worth it to see if the cat's bluffin'." Cyborg was very excited; it was nearly futuristic tech to him - and he had the chance to test out Shoji's contraption to activate the worst in his grip! End of the world battles didn't mean being left out too early. This would work to the Titans' advantage.
"Then I can ship us across. Hold on , going on foot could make us sitting ducks." She pointed out. "I think that transportation is still an option. My magic is stronger than I even knew it could be."She marveled a bit by how the dimensional teachers had given her not only great aid,but the confidence to strike back with a passion. Trig on no longer had any mention as her entire thoughts were on a very chaotic dragon of the past. "Let me assist wherest I may." Malchior saw Raven blush and shove him back a little. "When you are ready..." She said nervously with that smile since hidden again beneath her snow white cloak's hood.
The council had never seemed this disfunctional to the woodland child as she stole a glance down an opposite hall to the keep. ~The main head will see you in person among her peers.~ One hood covered fool explained with Priscilla's wrists still bound behind her back. "My treatment is more than drastic. Might you let these arms move without restraint? I have magic power being cut off..should we need the chance , if an enemy arises?" If that was an insult to the fox deity , it had been out of contempt from Priscilla , for Dearhart's treatment as a fellow priestess of the very earth Sayu had once been a part of. "The kind gesture would serve us both as a reminder-
~Behold! Ye needn't wait further . The door to her sanctum is in plain sight.~ The cowled fool chuckled and had the guardian of wood shoved mercilessly through that golden door of traitors.
~Well well...my apologies Daughter of lesser seers. Thank you for attending this..war meeting to rattle the heavens!~ The crowds about the building clapped in the mistress's honor. ~You hold my very thanks. Ronald?~ The maiden becconed to the male guarding Priscilla. He raised his head as the elven lady caught a glimpse of golden flax while he lowered his covering from hiding the tawny shade of orbs beneath . ~ You may sit away from the priestess. Your deed was enough , you are to let us...catch up on old times. Now dissappear!~ The blonde pulled the hood from over his head and gaped up to her highness. ~She is here in your arm's length, THANKS to your favored blood! I am the one who will succeed!-
~To your quarters , you spoilt , retched , undeserving child! The only task given is that you do as I command! Do not oppose your queen!~ With a foxfire flame, the young elemental was left to shudder off his rage. ~Of course...~ She did not allow him another step as Ron was dragged away by brainwashed servants to rot away as he realized Kayumon and Veravakumu were not lying about the witch... He would play the good underling to see mumsy pay! ~Ah..Such is the world of a widow...You never married, into your lifetime..yet never allowed that shallow heart a taste! We here within the Celestial core have wishes to see another space form.~ The wood elf's brows furrowed while her arms still remained twisted mercilessly behind her. "What space? You have no such rite to bring disorder through dominating voids to your will! The only justice serve by that love of order alone, is one dream to end in the destruction of our worlds! This will never be issued by anyone! No matter how much you have driven the beings of the Celestial to war, you shall not escape just WHAT YOU WILL ONLY REMAIN!" The sorceress spat back to the kitsune mother. "You are only a spirit in the guise of a human , thanks to a pact of your desires implanted by a black widow demon! You were the one to have sold off Aria of the four passages to Strich owl mother Lilith! Also, you are the tyrant whom was sold off to the witch in order to best the red dragon in wits! The owl woman used you by implanting a demon inside of your spirit and body! Please recall!" The seer of woodlands pleaded with a worried expression. "If the black widow is still devouring all that WE knew , Sayumon is no heroine to this tale-
With a haughty sense of a smirk, the white fox lady laughed aloud. Her canines never looking so full and ready to snap!
~Dearheart? Have you any clue as to why I gave my heart away? The only male to have EVER bested the kitsune mother,was ROKU!~ She laughed in a fit with tears of something between insanity and sadness . ~The dragon carried me away as his prize! Even when my comrades had only been on sight...to save his horrible son! Ha aha!~
"Then...Roku ...he was wrong!" She cried out. Dearheart had known the dragon to have had many ruined by his betrayal...the queen Sayumon...-
"Daria! He was the dragon?" If that was the case, then her line brought into being...Kayumon and Ron...Aria as well, had been exposed to that memory before it had all evaporated. Hanumon was Kayu's true father. Daria had been the one to decieve the queen and the lover she had secretly admired. He had broken the bond to break the queen apart!
~He was a snake! How ever could I have fled into a lower realm after becoming a great immortal! I was trapped!~ She shouted and flung herself to tower over the sorceress of earthen mysteries. ~The dragon left me with only one desire...I would be the one to vanquish any that should follow his rule! Those that paid heed to my law were spared! I even had a clingy witch whom had promised my eternal wish if I devoured a creature to enhance that obsession! I have all of the prowess of a war goddess! The witch owl may be mistaken; to have been allowed the unavoidable fate of such odds- yet I will not rest until all of the dragon's reign turns to ash! His son is nothing more than a drone. If any portion becomes whole, the stolen embodiment that had been the prince...the dragon will have an easy ticket when breaking the Ainsley's control upon him!~ She warned this ..but Lilith had enticed the goddess of the old world to go to war! She was surrounded by delusions of her very desire to crush the dragon's walls. Even with that mindset, Sayu was dangerous! She had known about the black widow. Devoured it whole to have unlimited control!
"Sayumon! You are becoming the one to lead your folk to battle,.and you shall be the one to send them to plummet to their ends!This all is no more than a trick by your possessive demon pact-holder! She wants this world to crumble; you along with it! Listen to reason! Do not look away!..." The villainous vixen still could not keep from grinning over the outcome. ~Our time draws near! The Celestial shall win over the dragon and his descendents; our next decree shall allow us to travel to the Earthen Realm!~ Gasps had been very few, yet some insecurities still remained within the fox deity's sanctuary. ~The humans gave rise to creatures such as us to protect the realms we ; as well as they, inhibit! Is it not just to show them the true gods of their prophecy? We shall pave the way once the dangerous serpent is disposed of ! All rise to allow a bridge; one that will allow further contact for we - the high order to dictate order wherest there reign CHAOS!~
Hooting and hollaring judges ; folk of both spirit and many of Celestial / split blood relations , were hungry for a real victory over the cretin , that had once caused many to have fallen. They rose up higher to agree promptly for a vortex to secure their win. Say was in her greatest spot of the hour. The council as calling her to lead against a the mortal and daemon below- even if the daemon were of kinder mention! Fear fed these peace loving folk as if it was so sacred! Priscilla was forced to call to her greater ally of the moment, to freeze the daughter of white foxes in time!
~Tsani...bring along word to Tsukiyume! Sayumon is planning an invasion of earth and spirit!~ The tears did not fall as the woodland sorceress barred herself against the mindless tantrums and war cries of her sister in spirit..
~Please hurry.. We have until the bell tolls the hour to end us all! Let none of this come to pass. I swear to the oath reborn! As a sister to the earth, I shall protect it until my very, last breath!~
The proud Isis had escaped the rocky waves with young Ava from the sorceress queen's old relative on board it. Astarte had radio checked with her sources when a new bundle of destruction had sprung out of the river ; she had been fearful enough to warn any other ships of the dangers off shore. The vessel roared on past the waves as a failed holding cell for two endangered passangers! Astarte furrowed her brow with a groan and harshly whispered to herself. "Isis will never get far in this struggle. Sayumon is dead set on a portal to these voids...two immortals I must protect never the less..sigh..*" The naval commander pinched her eyes shut for a few moments to contemplate the damage. "Isis will never trust the one of her earthen law...to become my guide into the storm?..." The creature of mystery known as Bao Shi , as well as Priscilla the woodland spirit of the earthen north.
Far into the center of the Jump city bay; a holding cell far many below the dirt, the villainous crime lord waited inside his chamber for the witch and braniac Titan to see him...face to face. He had been snowballed back into the city by way of teleportation. Along with the light self, and his enemy Robin of the Titans, Slade was beat no more to the punch- as f this were no more than any trial of his crimes in the past. Yet something felt different than his encounter with Trigon's coming. Not at all the exact anticipation, but he was inside the base - the one their newest enemy intended to dominate! He was a sitting duck.
"Titans, if you can here me." He started to call out with a near monotonous drawl of boredom. "I will not stand for being the villain this time. I know how to fight the dragon. You need my help."
Raven burst through the underground room's doors with an apathetic frown and her fists full of light to levitate her whole body. "Don't tell us anything Slade. You almost risked the safety of our leader!" She spat , reminding the criminal that the dragon had used him when he'd least expected a turn around. "You have your point..the dragon was using me to lure your leader away, but I had other plans for the dragon once he'd fully taken control of Lothos." The name sent a cool chill up Raven's spine . "You used him to lure out the dragon, Robin was bait. That is why we won't trust your truces any more Slade." She crossed her arms and felt he deserved no pity from the toss into an underground cave in. "He even granted a wish; you thought that was not something I could learn by seeing into your mind, I saw more than enough." She snort in disgust that the dragon had manipulated the tyrant boss of Jump's underground, by bargaining Richard's future as a monster!
"He won't hold back. The king had an inside catch; one that is stepping down to earth this very second as we it here." Raven narrowed her gaze. "A new...no...what are you trying to plan? Don't lie. You areas good as left for the dragon's judges to decide what your fated should be!" She left to turn away. Rage was the last emotion she'd wishedto unleash in front of her enemy. "The spirit , Hakuro told us. The leader he was following for answers is working in sync with the red dragon's movements." The empath grumbled lastly, before throwing her hood up and over to cover her saddened expression. "We can do just as well in a fight than you ever even tried. Isis will have your memories erased by sun up. When this is over, you'll never come near Robin or my friends..ever again. " His palms slammed on the glass of the chamber. "You won't ...Even if you try, this is the end. You tried against Trigon. But as the story went, you still nearly lost without my help! The dragon is not going to stay in hiding long, this whole shut down will!-
Useless! The girl was still hiding them away! Fear was everywhere. The glass eye relic was still able to sense shadows and wisps of miasma huddled into dark corners. The light spirit Hakuro...he was the one that had saved and transported both Slade and Richard to the tower. An interesting thought ; why had he been the one ?Even the empath had just said that the self...knew the series of events unfolding in the other world he had previously been a part of. Then, the spirit had either; an idea about the dragon's rampage on earth, or else, not a clue and was still getting to know Robin all over again...The dragon's darn pact was not going to hold if every trace was eliminated throughout it's existance..that was no east task! If cults, possessed and possessors, those in contract, those holding written works...it had to die out by the billions or more!
Slade slumped into a bench within the walls of his detention chamber. That witch was not going to lose ...he had to erase the dragon, or the Titans' new ally would rip out every reel of Robin's existance from Slade's mind...I would be a sequence of JLA information and connections - secrets in defeating, getting one step ahead- if that boy's mention was terminated...it would not be a single great defeat for the villain of the teens...not the bat even..
To lose that way, would be a cowards way out. He wanted to know Robin had grown far away from his plans. The dragon knew how to twist that reality then..But he had no longer cared . Was the red lizard still killing every brain cell the villain had left? Was he too far tricked into this disillusion to drag himself out , to face the present?
"I have to be a part of his destruction." The assassin grumbled in silence with nothing but the hum of machines to calm his rattled nerves-
Slade blinked withhisone eye still encased behind his mask. "That was.."
He checked the beating of his own heart . It was safe..no intrusion...
Paranoia still gripped the crime lord as he forced away all memory of his past and that earlier meet with the red blooded vamp. "He's not going to leave a scratch...just wait . The king will fall , no one will remember a dead man once this ends." As morbid as it had seemed to resound, he spoke those words in a whisper. Raven was aware of the uncertaity. How she would battle the soul stealer- he had every intention of not being left out of this fight.
The echo of a cruel , cackling creature left the ones connected the shiver throughout realms. Kayu suddenly jumped up in shock as his nine tails fox self reamerged from a cloud of grey and fog. "Earth is below me, this is the final battle. I must see to the chosen as the victors against-
The sound of a loud bell ; hardly a gong but powerful, rumbled forth as many impish beings swam after the fox in his hybridized for as a racing storm cloud!
"They are going to rupture the walls! I have to hold them!-
Aria's faint singing could be heard as the guardian son blinked with a gape up into the blinding blaze-
"My dear relative!" The youthful, talented siren , stood in mid air and forced away the rotten things from leaving their dimension. "How lovely it is too see you after so long! Verra must be well? Or..I did hear of a falling out ...then might this banshee give her all till morn!?" The songstress waved a the sea while her gown turned to a garb with warrior's padding and armor. Her hair was held far from her eyes as the sea queen shifted and rocked the area free of the ones still clambering for another song. "My fans adore me!" She giggled with a triumphant glow about her. "Creatures ! Mercy will befall that turn from their journey! The waves spare no spirit! Ye shall turn the tides! As princess the four passages; fall back from this plane! Return to your world at once!-
~ We cannot go back home!~ The creatures that had not fallen into the ocean howled in a mournful way. ~It has been taken! We have no place left to turn! A monster is keeping my brothers from that place! No nooononnoooooo!~
Aria looke up to the skies as a bolt of thunder shot out into her view. They must have been marked to meet another end...
"Ronald!These spirit are the wrong target! Who in the heavens is forcing them to flee towards the earthen field! Answer my question , brother!" The bolt wielder sprang forth as a passing shower in the tropics. "It is not m place! Those unable to obey must perish! They are our enemy! All that cannot fight for our truth are the Celestial and Eternal's foe! You are not one of our kind! Perish !"
His spiritual glow was gone in the midst of rain and thunderous roars . Mortal's boats swished against the ravaging tides while Aria took matters very personally against a turned ally...
"Ron...so then it is true! You must think clearly you doltish sibling!" She scolded whil pushing the waters with her powers. The imp still clinging for dear respite were shouting their woes! The tired aailors up ahead were curios and driven to tears by the voices of the desperate spirit sent drifting. Kayumon reappeared and split with his fox self in the process. He cleared his throat and directed it quickly. ~Help the i mp and sailors! Calumon will try to calm the spirot of their fears ...do not waiver! I will stop Ronald...from creating more blood on our hands...~ With a signal the fox and self Calumon went off to do their very best in halting a greater disaster. Aria used her power now to tear down the thunder elemental's walls. He zipped by her shots of ice a the shards zizzed* out towards the guardian , who disipated the icy sticks with hot air. He whisked himself by the chaos and held Aria from tossing a larger mound into the air- into the waters below!
"Aria! We are going to harm the human AND pirot at this rate! RONALLD! You are being a bad dog! Don't make me have to settle this ! I will not bother holding out as Aria has done!" He smirked as she elbowed the fox roughly for that remark, earning a satisfying grunt from the white haired Celestial cousin. His half sister if the rumors were true...
"Ha!" The beast behind the fox's foe was a tiger hybrid with a lion and wolf. A yellow thunderbeast! He had been the same way as the brother lightening! He was that beast ..if the brother was still trapped as another.
"We shall then, Kayumon...to figure just whom exactly has the gall to stand beside Madame Sayumon! I will not allow you to beat me..even if you are the one she wishes that right ...I shall besseecch my own destiny!The crown is for Sayuuuu! Hahahaaa!"
Aria gasped as the lightening creature rose from a higher point to become the elemental son's dog!
"You will not find that rite! The crown is not decided by a single royal! I shall make both you and other see that clearly! Let us do battle! Return at once should I see to that desire to do away with an onslaught! Come then! Face me in the last , lawless fight you shallever make of your life. I shall prove your very worth here!"
The skies opened so that clouds could serve as a platform from the waves below. The imps had been soothed by Aria and Calumon working tirelessly, while the sea sorceress allowed her magic to settle the ocean's roars . The men had fallen to the shore from their boat finding the land it craved. The very men to have seen the daughter of ancient lore had never to dispair. She had her arms round the one to show her a good ear.
Her heart swam with the currents as her tunes fell away towards the skies. Kayumon had to see to the spoiled Ronald's tantrum...he was not a very mindful guest within her domain The fox in white would spare his justice , with a fight to the finish -
"Be careful, the hornet is still protecting it's hive,yet the dog has it's alpha in a dangerous position...hold steady , do not let the underdog lose in this fight!" Her words were a small spell as a charm for the fox other choosing. Aa well as a premonition carefully woven by her sound and pitch ..
The alpha was not Sayumon , it was someone closer the current that carried her words adrift. Far , far back against the tides, back deep into the murky waters .
Ending the chapter by this last piece ! Aria has the power to appear as easily as a sea breeze Kayumon is a Celestial over the skies . Clouds..catch his drift! Ron has the brother lughtening the fox believes, due to Sayu's connection with the dragon and those that had any clue about the cursed brother Titan. Priscilla is taken away and sees just how cruel a place the Celestial kingdom has become. Hakurto saved the Titan leader and his arch enemy from the red lord. However, Slade does not want to be left out of helping the heroes to destroy the dragon once and for all. Raven knows that the crookn cannot keep hisgoodside for long. He is being kept far from the Titans as they plan out a way to face the rioting lizard on familiar grounds. Robin was not really see as bait, Slade still had to trick the dragon once he'd been controlled earlier to hunt down the chosen . He just was able to break away in time to stab the king incog in the back- only to have the monster return the favour ten fold. Besides tricking the hero into losing ground, he was the one to implant old ideas of the apprenticeship for Slade to mark Richard's fate. It means nothing since Slade did not agree on his own for the most part. If the pact runs dry to quickly, Roku with lose his objective an extra power. On the other hand, he has the corrupted self of his son that could lose control without a firm hand. Richard has to face Rokuro . If he loses,the self will take every ounce of our herp's freedom for eternity. If Richard as Robin faces and wins, Rokuro cannot exist. He will suffer as before. The only way may be to accept the selves as his current . Not to let them do as Raven sees to every day with her powerful magic. If that will be the answer, how will Ava come to know Grayson once a full and le bodied paraental figure? The pages turn, as These new years is readying an end to end all ends by the shore- stay curious! Chapter twelve is on the way! Read on!
