Nato G Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 IC: Nato - Embracing Fate. "I've come too far to turn back now," I say solemnly, closing my eyes. I take a deep breath, perhaps the last I will ever take, and attempt to push the floating Mask onto my face.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) IC: Hyethut did nothing, he was more curious as to what would happen as the holy face from space was placed upon the face from this place. But he was not to risk his future, Tesara's future, and so let go of Nato's wrist and walked away backwards towards the Tesaran gate, far enough away in case some judgment befell the cast of characters before him but still being able to see everything clearly, standing in stolid scholarly attention of the glowing event. OOC: Pulse, lets see what happens with the Ignika.

Trijhak Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) The Mask of Life floats upon Nato's face, attaching itself, and soon constricting his ability to breath - as if the Mask had a will of its own - which it very much did. The Mask, rather than the Great Spirit the Great Beings had created, was now host to the entity that had created the dream. The entity that had robbed so many of their will, the entity that had destroyed their mind and puppeted them as its hands. The same entity that indirectly cursed Nato, yet for whatever reason keeping its promise to not involve the Iron Agori. The Mask glows extremely brightly, and soon Nato's flesh begins to change, expanding and stretching into red flesh as the red paste that used to be dreamers coalesces into flesh itself, joining the being that had formed using Nato's body as a basis, the being that was incomprehensible to look out, the being whose flesh folded in impossible ways and simultaneously reached into your mind simply by looking at it. Annona was free to roam the realm beyond their own dream once more, many beings ripe to be made into mindless slaves that did nothing more but dreamt the dreams that Annona sustained on. Nato is no more. And then the Mask of Life falls to the ground, the red-fleshed thing known as Annona no longer needing it. Tesara falls silent. ...But perhaps there's still a use for the Mask of Life yet, if Bara Magna could survive.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) IC: Mouth gaping in bewildered fright, Hyethut's mind tore at the sight and he shouted to the soldiers at the southern gate in hysterical madness, "Hide yourselves and your families!" before he fell to his knees, hands catching his fall as drool dripped from his dazed face. He only managed to utter the following words before throwing up in his mouth, "What is happening?!" If Hyethut could think wholly right now, he would recall in the Grunkharist scrolls how it is said that when the world was created out of the corpse matter from the Eternal War, there were beings that spawned with material creation, the Celestial Monsters, the second race of gods found in creation, the immortal abominations that oft served their own will and neither order nor Open rebellion. Neither demonic Krahagnu nor angelic Avhagnu, but princely terrors beyond comprehension. But right now, standing up will be a feat of itself.

I.... Am the Sword of Grunkhar He stood up, the glance made at the monster watering his eyes, but he kept his eyes on the mask as he walked towards it, heaving one leg in front of the other.

Trijhak Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hyethut manages to stand up, approaching the Mask of Life. His vision - no, his mind - is blurring.

Regret that I wasn't strong -or maybe weak- enough to finish the job with Voltex, instead only leaving him more crippled than he already was.

Trijhak Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Toru: Resist: Intelligence: 7 + 9 = 16 Timelord: Irrelevant --- Toru, against all odds, resists the urge to sleep, and the urge to dream. Instead, Annona's influence is kicked out of his mind - and he is now more lucid than he has ever been. --- The troops of Tesara do not need concerning. Whatever Annona was - it was a threat, and Hyethut was their general - ad thus, they did exactly as Timelord asked. --- Terrorsaur soon has a massive concussion, a migraine, as Annona is trying to remove his will to do anything but dream. Terrorsaur has lost much, hallucinating Jed, Underscore, and Manducus' faces merged together in the ground beneath him, staring at him, judging him. A trick to erode his will. But Terrorsaur isn't dead, or gone yet. 2 Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiji Hino Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 --IC: Lan--This was not at all good. Lan's stomach churned even worse than when the Skrall had first advanced on Tesara. The monster that... Nato, was it? That Nato had unleashed with the combined shards, and subsequently been consumed by, was horrifying. It was showing signs of being even more dangerous than the Skrall could ever hope to be. Having remained out of the fight for this long, he decided that it was time to get out of inaction. He rushed over to Leader TimeLord and his small contingent of soldiers, knife drawn, ready to do something. "Awaiting orders, Leader TimeLord."

Bonkle Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 IC: Terrorsaur "Nnng.... NO! I will die on my own terms!" I've spent all my time trying to bring as much unity as possible. Being friendly amd welcoming to visitors to Tajun and maintaining the same manner when visiting other tribes. Supporting the Arena Magna system because it provides a deathless way to settle disputes. Fighting and winning a war in Atero because it is a central pillar of Agori society and culture. Killing those who pose a threat to Agori who have done no wrong. I am Terrorsaur. I was born on this plane. Every comrade I lost was born on this plane, and they died on it too. I will die on this plane, of this plane. I would gladly find Voltex and offer my neck to his sword if it was the only way to escape this dreamer. This master of nightmares. I will not bow to the machinations of a higher being. The schemes, the hopes, the struggles, the DREAMS of free Bara Magnans - I belong to those. I attempt to push Annona from my mind. 1 Quote I been away a long time.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) IC: Hyethut's mind ached as a foreign force knocked on his skull like a door. But his will and determination acts as a barrier against this new siege. At least, for now. Hyethut approaches the alien mask, and grabs it, his unliving gauntlets of war unknowingly sparing him from any adverse effects. Mask held in two hands, Hyethut dared not put the artifact on his face unless it does the same thing it did before and use his body as a vessel for another monster. Instead, the scarred mask will return to the state it was in not too long ago. The general does not know if he was going to survive his next action, but a life sacrificed for Tesara was a noble death in of itself, and he readied to meet Grunkhar face to face. If he lived, then Tesara will be his to protect by force if need be. With these thoughts speeding by, Hyethut raised the mask up, looked up to see the flesh-shifting star become momentarily distracted by an army of Tesarans and vulkans running and shouting towards her, the sight of Annona causing a facial expression of writhing mental pain, eyes in tears and ocular veins stinging, and smashed upon the creature with all his might with the mask of life.

Trijhak Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hyethut grasps the Mask of Life, bashes the Mask of Life on the thing that can be best described as Annona's 'body' as he begins to feel Annona try to meddle with his own mind. The Mask of Life doesn't simply break, as intended - but instead explodes, the impossibilities of Annona's body confusing the basic intelligence within the mask now that it is no longer host to Annona. Annona is not life. Annona is not death. Annona is wrong, a being that should not exist. Annona has made a mockery of life, and here it was, trying its best to comprehend - to no avail. And such an explosion has severe consequences. For everyone. Those who had exploded into the red paste that had partially coalesced into Annona's body found themselves alive once more, screaming out in incomprehensible pain as Annona's flesh twisted and turned back into the Agori and Skrall they had once been, incomprehensible limbs folding into comprehensible, recognisable limbs. Annona melts, significantly weakened, as if they had never been brought into this world at all - until all that remains is some very confused Agori and Skrall in a puddle of blood and liquefied flesh, centred around the corpse of Nato. There was no sign of whatever became of the Mask of Life. Hyethut, whether intentionally or not, has just saved Bara Magna from its fate. He lied unconscious, just outside of Tesara. The threat was over - the Skrall were defeated, and Annona had been sent back to their own dream, unable to interact with the waking world once more. Episode Nine has ended. Let's all take a break before we begin the Epilogue. 4 Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning to the pile of ash that remained of Tuma, Andekas ran over to it, took not a second of thought before spitting upon it, and with his remaining hand grabbed a small shard that was once a part of the Giant's helmet from the pile, before sprinting with haste over to the North of Tesara.
