An Oath that was shattered
The wind now howled across the entire skyscraper like a beast that has been unchained, carrying all the flecks of the glowed on ash that had rained on the Sterling Tower and right below was the New York skyline that had just burned with the chaotic light. The rift was opening like jagged wounds in the air as all the supernatural energy all spiraled into the clouds and the storms was no longer natural but it seemed to be summoning. Marcus just stood at the balcony's edge, his coat a whipping sound that was violent, and is eyes on the swirling of darkness right above. "He is awakening, and it is the god that has erases time" he murmured. Right behind him was Diana, her voice all trembling and even though she tried to keep her tone steady she said, "You mean, Erebus? The one on your records that was called the 'Devourer of Realms'!" she asked as she put her hands in quotes. Marcus then nodded his head once. "When I had Allen from grace, it wasn't just from my memories that were all
The Shadow That Wears His Face
All through the coiled smoke the city was in ruins, more like ghosts that were searching for a grave. The skyline was all broken and skyscrapers now cleaved into halves, the streets cratered just where the divine energy had just struck in the center of it all was Diana Sterling. She stood there all confused and trembling from the fractured signs of the Helios and her hands were pulsing so weak.He was gone. Marcus was gone!Her impossible fiancé, her unlikely ally, her protector had just vanished into the explosion of the light and the rift had closed and the storm had ended and the silence in there felt heavier than the victory."Marcus...?" she let out a whisper her voice was barely audible to be heard but then came the footsteps, it was slow and delibrate, each one so crunching of glass and the ash beneath all of its weight. Her heart pounding as she turned and immediately she froze from what she saw.He had stepped out of the haze but then she could see that something was wrong, h
The bleeding light
The first light that shown at dawn had slithered all through the cracks of the cathedral that had been ruined, there was bleeding gold that has known alot of pain. The air thrummed with all the echo of last nights battle all the smoke, the ash and the whispers of some divine fury and there he was, Marcus he stood in the center aisle at the sword point buried in the ground and all shoulders shaking.She lay a few paces away, Aria's pulse was faint but still steady all the celeyial shied that had once surrounded her was now dim and so fragile. When Marcus turned to face her, the fire in his veins had all faltered. He knelt close. to her as his breath was uneven, he whispered, "Stay with me, please, you cannot leave me now not after everything."Her eyelids fluttered. “You… did you...you stopped him.” she said or more like asked. He looked away, "Just for now, but know it isn't over yet" he said as he glanced toward Victor Moon who was now shattered insignia in the smoke that was still.
War of the same flesh
The shockwave was the first and it split the sky into two, all the buildings shuddered, glasses bursting outward like rain and the heavens all screaming loud. Marcus had hurled backward inside of the wreckage, all the crashing and the ruins of the spire. His body hit so hard on the stone and the hit was hard enough to draw blood but it wasn't the pain that shook him it was the recognition.Marcellus was right below the street, his divine light pouring from his form and in a gods voice it all rolled like thunder all over Manhattan “Do you feel it, mortal? The pulse that binds us all? You were all born of me and shaped from my regret.” It said.Marcus slowly rose as the Shadowbane began to hum so violently in his tight grip “And I have learned to be just what you couldn’t be a human.”Marcellus let out a laughter that echoed through all the broken streets. “Humanity is just a disease that is dressed as virtue.” His golden spear now materialized into a burst of light, its edge all burni
An Echo within the Blade
The big storm had all ended and the sky of Manhattan looked so pale and even cracked with all the sunlight that shun. The smoke from all the fallen towers and the broke glass shimmering all across the streets like stars that was shattered and scattered. The battle was all over but deep inside the air still felt so heavy, just as if the world itself was holding its breathe.Marcus was sat on the church's steps and the Shadowbane sword was resting just besiide him and his body all ached same as his hands and his mind just felt like it had been through fire, but yet he was still here and alive and deep down the simply truth was it felt like a miracle.Aria was standing just nearby, as her were all gone, and her skin held a faint silver light, "The city will find its healing and people will rebuild from all of this" she did softly and Marcus gave her a tired nod, "They always do" he replied and looked down at the sword by his side all dull and quiet deep down in him, he could feel somethi
A cracked crown
The war was over but still the city was left in trembling, the City was left all burnt orange and as dawn broke it broke with smoke, the buildings all leaned like giants who were tired, the streets all glitering with the broken glass and the faint hum was a leftover of some leftover magic that floated with the air.Marcus was standing at the Sterling Tower, the wind all cold against his skin and face. The Shadowbane resting at his side, so dull and heqvy, its once-living light just now faint like and old heartbeat.Aria had stepped up beside him, and her pale hair all tangled by the wind. "You have not said a single word since after the battle came to and end."He kept his gaze towards the horizon, "I have not spoken because it has not come to an end."Frowning she turned and looked at him, "What do you mean Marcus?" She asked and he turned and touched his blade, "Marcellus has not gone yet and I feel him in this sword, he is quiet now but i know he is waiting." Her eyes softened bu
The Last Door
The rainfall had come to a stop by the dawn, but still he air smelled like hot thunder, she was standing by the edge of the ruins all her eyes fixated on the old stone gate that had made rise from the earth. The ground was slightly whispering with strange energy almost as if somethings deep inside was awakening.Just there behind Aria, Alias approached so quietly, in his hoots that crunched on the broken gravel floor, "You really do think this is the one?” he asked, in a voice that was low able for just her to hear.She nodded her head as she replied. “It is the final door, the only one Father spoke about before he had disappeared.”Frowning Elias glanced at the carvings that were etched into the stone, they all had eyes, like thousands of the eyes and each of those eyes were watching, all alive in the morning dimmed light, “It doesn’t look like a door,” he murmured.“It never really does,” Aria said softly as she ran her fingers over all the symbols, feeling all the warmth right benea
Through the passage
Elias was holding the pendant in his hands, the tunnel was cold and so endless and there was a fait glow that lighted around the narrow stone walls. Each step he took echoed as it got swallowed in the dark. He could tell he had been walking for some minutes OE maybe hours as time felt so strange, twisted and stretched.Whispering softly, “Aria… if you can hear me, please guide me.” he said hoping she heard and just then, the pendant pulsed once and then again almost like a heartbeat showing she was answering from afar abs just that gave him small hope.Around him the air grew so heavy and as he descended deeper he could make out the strange markings on he wall—all the symbols that were shaped as spirals, some as eyes and others like hands reaching out to be held. Looking closely he saw that there were the same carvings he had seen from the gate as he ran his fingers over all he could feel the warmth, just like he could feel the stones all breathing.He heard footsteps just behind him
The Origin’s Call
The pillar had a light that was stretched into the sky like a spear that ran through all the eternity and Elias had to make a trudged toward it and it ran across the glow of the shoreline and its boots were sinking right deep into the sand every step that echoed there had a faint whisper, it was of voices that were too faint and ready to understand, but it all felt and sounded familiar just like someone felt and had them in a constant dream.Around his neck the pendant was in a rhythm with the standing pillar all warm, bright and alive. Sometimes it became so cold and as if there was another heartbeat pulsing within had Aria's heartbeat.He kept on moving and the closer he got, the heavier the whole air became, the world itself now seemed fo resist him and the sky was trembling all the colors bending between gold and crimson and it felt like a dying star right inside.At the very last minute he has reached the base of the pillar and it wasn't even made of some stones or of light, it w
The Shadows breath
It was quiet, a very quiet dawn, and Elias stood there frozen as there was a figure that had turned to fully faced him, it was Aria's face a face he had buried in memory it was so calm, so cold and very much unreadable. Her eyes, the once gold orbs with warmth now shimmered with a crimson glow and hearing the hum from the Shadow Pillar.“Aria… it is me” he whispered, his voice breaking, she blinked once, slowly, as if she was tasting the sound of his name on her lips “Elias Steele, the vessel who had defied all the balance.” she said softly. Stepping forward “No you do not call me that. You know me well and you said I would find you again.” he said hoping she got the memo of it.Her expression didn’t change. “I do remember the fragments, it had a hand reaching out almost like a promise and the light all burned away." she said, tilting her head slightly.He shook his head. “No, Ari, that was not the end. You— you told me to remember you, to make sure I found you." faintly she smiled w
