Fantasy The Return of Corruption

[Paint The Wind]

(Ok, will someone please tell me what I missed?)

((Ari got a whole new set of weapons and Cross was attacked by a demon and has lost all his memories.))

(Ok, will someone please tell me what I missed?)

(Nothing much. Cross has amnesia and that's really it)

"Yea, it is." Cross was too serious to play the whole amnesia game, so Ari knew this was genuine. If it were someone like Dean or Flare, it'd be a different story. "Do you know what happened to you?"

An image of Sandro appeared in front of them. It wasn't using his sarcastic grin, but a sad look. "My apologies miss. I have something that corrupts me. Inside me...gnawing..." he looked at the girl. "Know you are not weak for your emotions. Your emotions give you strength. And while I claim to have no emotions, I have never felt love, nor kindness. Your kindness, sorrow, love...it gives you strength. You have the strength to resist my whispers. Concentrate on one thing-the most important thing you know. Concentrate on that, and the whispers will go away. CATCH THE WHISPERS EARLY! Because once they become screams, you'll never be rid of them. I would know." There was a pause. "Ari. I'm sorry I put you through what I did. I can only hope it makes you stronger. While you will never trust me again, you may take my thanks for not killing me, black Assassin." He laughed. "As for you cross, only half of my guidance led that devil to beat the piss out of you. Apologies." He looked at them all. "Well now. I know forgiveness doesn't go to people like me, I've lived it, so I don't expect any. But I do ask for it. Whether you believe me or not, know what I do is not because I have an evil soul, but because I've been corrupted. Who knows if I'll be cured. Arabelle- don't let the whispers become screams! Concentrate on what you love most, that's how it stops. It's too late for me, not for you. " he waited.

Everything seemed similar to the dream, but as if a great amount of time passed. As she continued, she would find a knight in massive armor laying down on the ground. His name was Bastille.
Sepentireon hissed and slowly stood up.

"I barely know what I am anymore... But yes, we had a deal. You are foolish to renounce my gift... There will be consequences, and you can be sure of that."



​

Sepentireon gripped Sandros head, completely covering his face. He could feel tendrils pushing around his eyes and nose, entering his brain. He could feel an intense pressure at the back of his head, though the pain was nullified. After a moment, Sepentireon removed his hand and was holding a large black appendage in his hand... Sandro could feel some sticky substance at the back of his head, covering a gaping hole.

Sandro shrugged, and time healed again. "No there's not. Are we still allies? Do you still wish to learn about necromancy?"

 

[Kylesar1]

"One second, Cross"


"Sandro, tell me what the blue hell is going on."

"One second, Cross"
"Sandro, tell me what the blue hell is going on."


@Inheritance

"Simply stating what I owe you guys. I don't know what you've been through, so I can't judge. "

 

[GreenEyedStranger]

Sandro shrugged, and time healed again. "No there's not. Are we still allies? Do you still wish to learn about necromancy?"

Sepentireon scoffed and stood up straight. From both ends of the library, two knightesses in a strange silver armor approached, they were covered in obscure masks

"Allies? No. You betrayed my gods and therefore you destroyed my trust. Either way, I believe you owe me one as Khan willed your death, though I decided not to kill you. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but you are giving me everything you know about necromancy."

​

 

[Kylesar1]

"Simply stating what I owe you guys. I don't know what you've been through, so I can't judge. "

"Just like I was, you have way too much pride to admit your wrongs without something making you do it, so what's going on?"

 

[Bakuyoshi]

"Oh wait something just popped into my head!"

[Kylesar1]

@Paint The Wind @Kylesar1

"Speak then. What is it?" Ari asked

 

[Inheritance]

Sepentireon scoffed and stood up straight. From both ends of the library, two knightesses in a strange silver armor approached, they were covered in obscure masks

"Allies? No. You betrayed my gods and therefore you destroyed my trust. Either way, I believe you owe me one as Khan willed your death, though I decided not to kill you. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but you are giving me everything you know about necromancy."

​

Sandro grinned and gripped his staff. "Ohhhh don't you betray me toooo. I didn't do anything wrong! All I did was not want your 'gift' without more knowledge on it first! You failed in protection so you didn't get the knowledge. I saved you, you healed me. Even. " He tensed, preparing his teleport...if Ari saved him...


"Come now we can work much better together! I'll perhaps accept your Gods! But I need to be educated first."

 

[Bakuyoshi]

Cross excitedly announced what it was. "It's a name, actually two names. Katherine and Ciri, Were these two important to me or something?"


@Kylesar1

 

[Inheritance]

"Just like I was, you have way too much pride to admit your wrongs without something making you do it, so what's going on?"

Sandro laughed nervously "oh you no me too well. So uh I made a bad deal...can you just pull me the rest of the way to you? I'll explain later I'm uh...in a situation...please?"

 

[FireMaiden]

Bailey had started feeling nauseous, so had gone to her and Tyr's room. She was sitting at the small desk in the room, looking through the journal filled with the military reports because she hadn't brought any real books. She sighed, and ran a hand through her hair.

 

[Kylesar1]

Cross excitedly announced what it was. "It's a name, actually two names. Katherine and Ciri, Were these two important to me or something?"
@Kylesar1

"Aye. Katherine is.......your lover, and Ciri is your daughter, who's one of the people leading the army."

Sandro laughed nervously "oh you no me too well. So uh I made a bad deal...can you just pull me the rest of the way to you? I'll explain later I'm uh...in a situation...please?"

"Pull him in, Waesmor. He's still capable of not walking a malevolent path."


Ari started swirling with wind. "Consider yourself lucky, Sandro. Szelanya still considers you an innocent. Just horribly misguided." Ari summoned a flower. A rose. The petals blew off with Ari's wind and surrounded Sandro. "Now come forth." The roses dispersed, and Sandro appeared fully in the church

 

[GreenEyedStranger]

Sandro grinned and gripped his staff. "Ohhhh don't you betray me toooo. I didn't do anything wrong! All I did was not want your 'gift' without more knowledge on it first!

"Come now we can work much better together! I'll perhaps accept your Gods! But I need to be educated first."

Sepentireon laughed and clenched his chitinous fist, making a sharp crunching sound. The knightesses circled around Sandro. One wielding a short katana spoke

"How dare you deny the gift of our teacher... Do you not want insight?"



​

The other one, carrying a huge great-lance spoke in a more hoarse voice.

"Those like you should be ground under my boot."





"Maybe there is hope for you... But you are cowardly. Your only interest is your own preservation, and not the betterment of knowledge. If you truly wish my favor, then you must redeem yourself by showing me how you can contribute to our pool of knowledge. However, if you cross me or my covenant one more time... Then I shall have no mercy on you."

However, just as Sepentireon finished his sentence, he saw Sandro slowly disappear. Realizing that he was just stalling for time, Sepentireon became outraged. Just before Sandro disappeared, Sepentireon whispered.

"You'd better not sleep, coward... For the next time you dream, I shall devour you..."

​

 

[Bakuyoshi]

Cross was shocked at the news. "Wait I have a lover and a daughter. Just how old am I? I mean look at me I could pass as a 17 year old."

(Also, I should clarify this, because Sepentireon has been appearing in other peoples dreams. He can only haunt the dreams of those that he has directly affected with his magic, such as Sandro or Arabelle. His presence in the dream can only be forced out by the strongest of wills or not sleeping for an extended period of time.)

​

Sandro looked at him. "So you say I give you my knowledge, we can perhaps be allies once more?" He thought for a second. "Agreed. Let me show you." He muttered a spell. And Vanished.


He reappeared with Ari. Sandro couldn't hold the false bravery any longer. He fell to his knees. "OH MY GOD THANK YOU!" He looked at the party, coughed and got up. "Whoop. Just kidding I could have handled...it..." He didn't put much effort into the lie. "Um...do you know where I was?"

"Suuuure." Arabelle said critically, still angry at him.
