What had started off as just Tessa going off in search of the king, ended with it now being a group of three that went off to find the king. Surely with that many people it wouldn't take long for them to find the king. More time had passed and they search party still had yet to return. Now some concerns were starting to arise in Gale's mind. There was still much to this area that they didn't know about, but again they didn't know exactly where the king was. Either way, whatever was keeping them from swiftly returning, they had little choice but to wait it out. With his head facing the direction that Tessa had gone off in, Gale had figured that if they were to return from that direction then it would be easy to find, well spot them returning. Turns out that Gale's assumption turned out to be true as he spotted two approaching figures in the distance. Soon identifying the figures as Tessa and Akari. The were carrying something as they got closer. Something that not only because clear as they came closer, but the realization of what it was came as well. What they were carrying with them was the king's lifeless body. Gale (nor MoK who was running out of ideas for this post) had any idea to react to the sight of the king. There was their king dead. This must've happened sometime after he'd separated from them after hearing the whistle, but so far no one knew where the whistle came from. Many things were open to questioning, but first Gale was concerned for how Tessa was holding uo. She carried part of the body here after all. He made his way up to her and asked. "Are you okay?"
"You can be impressed if you want to be, makes no difference to me." It had taken a bit longer than planned, but the demi god was running at him. Instead of moving away or even running towards him, Reitan instead fired off another volley of orbs towards Kalak. Since he knew full well that the attack was going to be deflected, moments after the attack was launched, Reitan changed his stance so that his lance was aimed towards the oncoming demi god. Using his legs, he propelled himself forward. To some this probably seemed like a questionable act, but Reitan had something in mind and so far the pieces were falling into place.
Whether it be because her not blaming him or this not being the time, Terra said nothing to Zephyr at first as he followed behind her outside. When she asked him which way, he pointed down towards the alley. "They went down that way." Zephyr could still feel Byakko's presence, thus he was still following after the assassin and Sara. Good, now they just needed to find them and handle the situation at hand. Kruez followed behind Tatiana and Derrick cause that's all I can think of him doing atm.
Zephyr had already been through hell once and had little intentions on going through it again. Getting back on his feet after the attack Sans had used, he decided to give the skeleton a taste of his own flames and attacked with Pyrokinetic Combat.
Well it was pretty clear just how much faith in them Shrya had in them. Still killer caterpillars? That seemed a little odd to him, but hey seeing was believing for a reason. Not having much else to add to what had been said, Lumen made his way into the carriage and took a seat.
"This lance won't wear out so easily." Reitan took noticed when his opponent took a step back opposed to closing the distance between them. Seeing the three spears appear before him was an eye catcher, but he now wasn't the time to be somewhat impressed by things. Reitan tightened his grip on his lance as the weapons flew towards him. "Imperial Lance Third Stance - Susano-O." His lance took on a green glow before a cyclone of wind erupted from the ground, completely surrounding Reitan. The ferocity of the winds would be more than enough to keep the spears from hitting their mark, so Reitan lifted his weapon from the ground and slowly twirled it in a circular motion, a white orb appearing as he did this. Once five orbs had appeared in front of him, he stopped twirling his weapon and held it up into the air. "Imperial Lance Second Stance - Tsukuyomi." The lance was aimed towards were the demi god was and the five orb flew out through the cyclone as it died out towards him.
"What the hell is that?" That was the first thing that came to mind once Veilen laid eyes on the beast before them. It was basically something out of a nightmare, which made some amount of sense taking into account that they were dealing with demons. But still, this clearly looked like it was supposed to be the big guns and that was what Veilen had hoped that it was. If not, then things were going to be problematic. Looking on the bright side of things, now would be a good time to try out his new magic. "Let's go, Mage Knight's Crest!" Following the proclamation, a robe as well as runes appear on his being. Following this, his sword started to glow until the entire blade was engulfed in a blue light. With a swing of his sword, a blue wave of rune infused energy flew towards the abomination that they were fighting. Veilen used Blade of Ruin Introducing herself to Silvia had gone smoothly and now they were supposed to follow behind the clock and the fairy that had gone down the opening. Thus without further ado, Alisa jumped down the hole.
So she did hear the whistle, but assumed that if was them who made it. While that doesn't prove that she was liar as Karen claimed, it also doesn't explain where the whistle came form or who made it happen. That was probably an issue for another time though. They needed to find the king, a task which Tessa had volunteered for. No objections could be made nor words said before she left off in search, which left them waiting for her to return.
My characters probably won't be taking part in the battle
It wouldn't be the first time that someone has told him that his overconfidence would be his undoing, but those people weren't demigods so the phrase was backed up by something this time oppose to other times. Not that that was going to stop Reitan in the slightest. What he did do was shrug his shoulders to what the demigod had said. "Those people aren't a concern of mine, someone else will take care of them." Least that was what he was assuming anyway. Either way, his focus was to be on Kalak and Kalak only. Reitan moved his lance from the casual position of over his shoulder to lifting it into the air, twirling it in the air a bit before stabbing it into the ground. "Not going to happen, but you're more than welcome to surrender and walk away now." Whether it be a mortal man or a demi god, Reitan would still find some way to mock them in combat. It was a habit of his. Still he most certainly was going to have to try during this fight, not that the current expression on his face showed that at all.
No, I did not see this coming. There goes another person i remember rping with back in my early, noobish days which sucks cause it was enjoyable reading your posts. Hopefully you'll be able to sort things out soon, we'll probably still be here. Some of us still in 5+ rps all at once.
Not knowing anything about a show/book/whatever hasn't stopped me from joining an rp.

During his fighting, Reitan had ended up staying near the entrance to the sky tower, fighting off any hammer than had approached him. The lucky number that RNG had given him was 4 so that was how many NPC Hammer met their end against him by his mighty lance Mikazuki. Four corpses laid out around him, all both being burned to a crisp. All the while there wasn't a single scratch on Reitan. "This only further proves my point." If only his teacher hadn't died, then maybe he could get a answer as to what he meant with his words. Reitan push these thoughts to the back of his mind so that he could focus back onto the battle at hand. Just in time too for another challenger was approaching the entrance. This one looked like he be an actually challenge and not just because his image was Archer, but he was a player character. "So you're the next person to what in, well least now I can actually put in an effort." His lance was moved to on his shoulder, a fairly casual position for the situation that was about to begin, but Reitan had a plan. Well a plan for throw to not get effd up with his lance in this position. Also Kalak was the one he was referring to in the post.
A cool breeze blew through the air as and the tree branches gently waved to and fro. It was a beautiful day and on a day such as this one should do nothing but kick back, relax and enjoy the serenity. However on Astralix, even on days such as this the youth were still hard at work. Training for any such event where they would be needed to fight. However there was one person who was actually doing what one would expect on a day such as this and that person's name was Lumen. Right now Lumen was currently laying down on a bench, eyes closed as the gentle breeze blew by. It must've been an odd sight, seeing someone as dressed as formal as he was laying down on a bench without a care in the world. Fortunately Lumen wasn't one to care about small things. Of course he also wasn't much was doing things that he wasn't feeling and today, he wasn't feeling like training like everyone else. Man, this is going to suck when I get caught. The thought ran through his head as he moved himself til he was sitting up. Eventually they took notice to his absence during training and sent someone after him and, regardless of him hiding or now, they found him and brought him back to the training ground. Where he was subjected to a stricter training program than the others. Most people assumed it was due to his absence that he was given that treatment, but the reality was it was because of his ancestors. Legendary warriors, strategists, etc, basically anything that would be deserving of a lot of praise was in his blood. Lumen did mind that, in fact he found it pretty cool. What he did mind was the fact that they were basically forcing him to be like them. If he did want to be like them, then he would do it on his own time. Oh well, he's complained about this numerous times and it didn't change again. Might as well enjoy this 'break' while he could. Thus, he went back to laying down and actually decided to take a nap while he was at it.
After reading the choices, I vote South
Zephyr too remained silent while Operator gave them a motivation speech of sorts. While he had said that they were all allies, Zephyr didn't really see them that way. Most of them he didn't know and had no opinions on and some he had a slightly less than neutral opinion on and then there was that one guy in the gray area of neutrality. Though he may not have seen them as his allies, he had no reason at all to hinder any of them since they wanted the same thing for the most part. To reach the top of the tower. No matter, the next fight was before them and Zephyr headed through the door leading to the next floor.
Gale was a bit confused by what Karen had whispered to him as she walked into the building Veera was in. The only thing they heard was a whistle and he still wasn't sure what was the deal with that. Unless she was referring to Kala lying about the whistle, in which case made a bit more sense. "Didn't you heard a whistle though?" Gale asked. While waiting for an answer, he heard what Flame had about what the deal that she'd made to have Drake and Veera be released. Admittedly he wasn't all too fond of having to help out the ones who had captured them in the first place, but there wasn't much that could be done about that now. They simply just had to comply. While they had managed to find the one that they were looking for, Veera wasn't in the best of shape right now. Sure was a good thing that they had brought Karen along otherwise things might've been a bit more difficult. Especially given that they were going to ave to clear the outer section of titans. Hopefully that wouldn't end badly for them. "Anyone now where the King went off to?"
Just like that things had gone from bad to worse. Someone had just grabbed Sara and ran further into the alley. Of course he wasn't going to just sit around and do nothing, but he wasn't exactly well equipped for a fight, especially against someone who looked like an assassin. He needed some help and the first person that came to mind was Terra, but he couldn't go after Sara and get Terra at the same time. What he needed was a way to be in two places at the same time. Fortunately he did have a way of doing just that. He took a moment to make sure that no one was around to see him. "Come out, Byakko." Using his Spirit Channeling ability, he summoned the white tiger into the alley. "Follow them, I'll get some more help." The spirit nodded at Zephyr's command before heading down the alley, fitting just find through it. That left Zephyr to head back into the Orphanage and to Terra's room. "Someone grabbed Sara while she was out!" Other than his intentionally leaving out how Sara ran away from him shortly after getting aside, there was something Zephyr forgot to take into account. How would she react to the fact he was here instead of going to after Sara, least from her perspective anyway.
Even if Ander hadn't said anything, Zephyr probably would've used Fire Surge since it was the only other fire attack that he had at his disposal. That aside Zephyr couldn't help to feel that there was something more the the Fire God Slayer spell that he used. Like he could briefly power it up. Whatever it was he was thinking of, he would have to test it out later. For now he went and used Fire Surge on the tree monsters. Letting out a cry of distress after telling someone that you're okay isn't the best way to convince said person that you really are okay. Healing yourself right for the person to see, now that was a solid method of showing that you could at least handle yourself. Seeing as how Silvia had managed to get back on her feet after healing herself, she must've been fine so Alisa decided change the topic to something else. Like introductions. "I'm Alisa by the way."
