Fantasy Dragon's Roar 3: Rise of The Dark Arts ( Finished )

"I will certainly do my best for her, this guild is all I've got left as far as friends or family go. I'm gonna take care of them with my life."

Timor follows Bruce back to the house at a more leisurely pace, and catches Carnage's threat. She narrows her eyes, "That would not be wise, Carnage. A battle will soon happen, and without her, you will miss it. That would be a shame, wouldn't it?"
"Do you think it was easy for me? I told her because I'm not a liar. I wasn't going to lie to her face about something as important as this. She asked, I answered. I'm more sorry that I had to be the one to say the news; it should've come from someone she knows and cares about."

Carnage starts to mumble under his breath before he pushes himself back into Isabel.


Itami couldn't say anything to Siobhan, he just hung his head and stared idly at the floor.

Carnage starts to mumble under his breath before he pushes himself back into Isabel.

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief then turns to Timor, glad that she had been there, he wasn't so sure Carnage would've listened to him. "Thank you for that... what was your name again? I don't quite recall hearing it properly?"

Hekate decides that they should let Jackie know about the deal. She leaves Isabel to Bruce and Timor and ventures towards the kitchen. She felt bad for interrupting their moment but this was urgent. "Jackie there are something's we need to talk about." She goes into detail about the deal and the ideas they have so far.

Timor turns from Isabel to Bruce when he speaks, directly at him by accident. His deepest, darkest fears flash before his eyes, spurring an almost unbearable urge to flee in him until her eyes fixate onto the floor. "I apologize for that. I am Timor, goddess of fear and nightmares."

Jackie goes stiff at the mention of her being required, her jaw clenching. She thinks over what Hekate tells her, looking at her hands, "None of these ideas look very good for any of us, do they? We hand over me and Witch, and we lose two combatants. We lock them in this realm, and we might never come back," Jackie sighs, "Just my luck, huh?"

Bruce stumbled back against the wall, still trying to go farther back when he couldn't. In the past he might not have seen much but now he had plenty to fear from both the past and the future. It took him a bit but he managed to recover and straightened himself up. "It's all right... I'm... I'm Bruce... West," he had trouble saying his last name.

In the blink of an eye Jackie is no longer standing in front of Hekate in the kitchen. She was inside a throne room with an unconscious Isabel laying on the floor in front of her. "You say that like I'm a trap. Whether or not you open on close the gate beings can still come and go if I allow it. Hello... I am Miserae." After she addresses Jackie she still stares at her but seems to be staring into her. "It's nice to see you again Sanctum. I've been thinking about you, don't tell Negativity though. It's also nice to see my two companions again... Carnage, K-"





"I go by the name Julius now." The snake rises from Isabels body along with the red snow leopard.





"Dreary... anyways. My daughter has told me of some troubling news. So I'd like to assist you. I must speak with this Isabel girl about my conditions though. I'll find out which one of you are Isabel later. For now I shall explain." Miserae begins to explain the same idea she's discussed with Timor.

Shocked by her sudden change of location, Jackie falls over, the support from the counter gone from under her. She hisses as her leg is jostled, but before she can even reply to Miserae, her eyes shift into steel grey, and she gets up, now unhindered by her damaged leg. Sanctum smiles through Jackie, walking to Miserae proudly with only the slightest amount of a limp in his step. He takes Miserae's hand in his and kisses the back of her hand. "A pleasure as always, Miserae. It's been too long since we last met, " He listens to Miserae's proposal with interest, a malicious grin spreading wider across his face with every word. "An intriguing idea. She won't admit it openly, but even Jackie can see the merit of your plan."

Bruce stumbled back against the wall, still trying to go farther back when he couldn't. In the past he might not have seen much but now he had plenty to fear from both the past and the future.

Timor, for extra precaution, covers her eyes with her hand. "Hello, Bruce West. I've heard about you," When she says 'you', her entire form shivers, and she shape shifts into a near exact replica of Bruce himself, but very slight variations of the posture and expression show she's trying to mimic Nega-Bruce.

Bruce stares himself down, shocked at first but it was nothing new to him, he'd faced himself in the tournament hosted by a monkey. "Heard of me, eh? It looks like your definition of heard doesn't match mine."

Miserae slightly smiles and relaxes in her throne. "You always know how to flatter me. That's the first female host I've seen you with... it seems like the mortal realm has been treating you well." Miserae lights up once more and exhales. "What about this host of yours. Isabel? Does she agree?"





"She seems mostly unresponsive bu-." Julius goes silent for a moment because he'd listening to Isabel in her mind. "She has spoken and decided that she agrees but won't force any of her guild members to participate unless they choose too. Is this acceptable?"





Miserae slowly nods her head and smiles now that her fun activity will start whenever those Dark Arts members enter her. "Not only acceptable but pleasing. It seems like she's waking up." Miserae gestures towards Isabel who slowly rises and hold her head.





"Will you keep your promises about my daughter? Also about my guild members and innocents." Isabel casts her gaze in Miserae's direction but it seemed like she was staring right through her, talking to the air in front of her.


"I can assure you, I have no gain from lying to you Isabel. I have a question though... Why did Timor speak so fondly of you?"





Isabel starts to stand with slight difficulty. She glances at Jackie and looks back Miserae. "Timor is my grand aunt. I don't know when Jackie is leaving but send me back." Isabel's state shocks Miserae, the woman who didn't know Isabel was her great granddaughter. Miserae decides to respect Isabels decision and sends her back to the house. Isabel decides on telling Krios to activate the call to get the other members inside the house since they had things to talk about.

Isaac got the call and began making his way back to the house. Upon making it to the house he said, "You rang? Also I have a feeling the obsession magic that was controlling me is gone."

"Yes I did so please sit down. I have things to say." Isabel completely disregarded the obsession magic and gestures towards one of the large couches.

"To sum it up. If we take the deal we will end up in the Abyssal Realm. Would you like to participate in a death game to take out the Dark Arts once and for all or not?"

"Do you really want to know?" Isabel pierces Isaac's pupils with her own. Her expression was harsh and her cat ears weren't as open to petting as they used to be.

" It has. She was not the original plan, but she's worked out nicely nonetheless. Her affection for a mutt in the guild is aggravating, though it's of no concern. It's only a matter of time before something happens. If you could return me to the rest of the meatsacks, it would be very appreciated, Miserae. It's been quite a while since I've been in a proper fight."

Bruce stares himself down, shocked at first but it was nothing new to him, he'd faced himself in the tournament hosted by a monkey. "Heard of me, eh? It looks like your definition of heard doesn't match mine."

The Nega-Bruce clone grins in the same way he does, then her form flickers once more, shifting into copy of Schniezel, "Perhaps not," She - or rather, he - taps his temple with an almost sinister smile, "Every person, animal, or thing that's been feared by anyone is in my head. I can feel your fear, Bruce West. I know that the threat of death is not something you can just brush off anymore. I know you're terrified that every battle you have may be your last."

Bruce loses his composure again, backing up at the sight of the original. He turned his back to him "why are you doing this to me? I don't need to be reminded of any of that, I'm scared enough as it is. So many people are already dead and I'm probably next in line."

Isabel was about to respond but she turns her attention to Jackie appearing beside Isaac instead. "Are you participating?"

 

[Alterius]

Fayde shuffled in with his "team" Lucien on his right, Altiera on his left more specifically under his arm helping him walk, and Kai'zen standing a full two feet taller than him and bringing up the rear Fayde spoke strongly despit his whithered state he seemed to hold himself together to a point. "I'm in." "I will fight." "Obviously I'm in, can't let you all die can I?" "We still don't know you all very well, but I believe we all agree dying with you is better than living without. So we're fighting." Fayde stood on his own two feet and looked the others in their eyes, "How long do we have before this death fight begins?"

Timor appears in front of Bruce, in her original, child-like form, and she puts both hands on his chest to prevent him from walking away, "You are not a coward, Bruce West, and it's time to stop using your fear as an excuse. You are afraid to die, yes, but if you were truly cowardly, you would have fled regardless of anyone's ridicule or because of the scorn of your teammates. Remember this, 'cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once'. You have tasted it once and have lived to tell of it, but you squander the rest life fearing an inevitability. Die with valor, die beside friends, die knowing you've saved the lives of others, not standing to the side as your friends die to preserve your life."

Isabel was about to respond but she turns her attention to Jackie appearing beside Isaac instead. "Are you participating?"

Sanctum releases his hold on Jackie as Isabel speaks, and she staggers into Isaac, having to hold his shoulder as pain from her leg hits her in a huge wave. She curses viciously under her breath, "Fuck that guy, thinking he can just fucking walk around on it when that shit is barely holding together, that fucking twat, fuck him," When she composes herself, she looks up at Isabel, "If Sanctum ever heals my god damn leg, I'd be happy to help you out. Ride or die, am I right, Van Fenrir?"
