- Aura, Rabiyu and Sifrei - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - That had been a close one, a very, very close one. Aura tried to protect the young princess with her own body, only for the attack to be stopped by the offorts of many to mantain the wall of ice. Aura could feel a surge of energy, all thanks to Eclaire's wish, yet her sight was not a hundred percent fixed. Instead, she could feel her other senses getting enhanced. She could hear better, smell better, and at this point she could identify the enemy's scent. Sifrei's barrier disappeared at this point. "Princess..." Aura said as she unsheathed her sword, the sword that her brother had used in the battle between Mystras and Kilkis Seres, "I understand, and I feel that it is time we join the others to get rid of this evil that threatens everyone." Young Aura turned to look through the ice wall at the direction of Ahriman, raised her sword and pointed directly at the so called god. At this point the sword began to illuminate with glowing runes across the blade, gathering magic from her surroundings. Rabiyu was glad that they managed to stop Ahriman's attack, but her magical reserves were suddenly back to maximum capacity, yet they still kept raising and raising. How? She did not fully knew, but she guessed that Eclaire had something to do with it, since she was holding Rufus's lamp. These questions didn't mattered at this point, instead, she focused her mind as she pointed to the sky. "Heed my call, Elemental Lords, I beseech thee to honor thy blood pact of old and fulfill thy duty. Unleash devastation upon the world's enemy!" From above Ahriman's new form, six glowing glyphs of different colours appeared, and from the middle of each one six different beings came forth, each glyph representing one of the elemental spirits. One by one they raised their hands towards Ahriman, as their began to gather huge amounts of arcane energy on their palms. "Sifrei! You have to join as well!" Rabiyu said to her fellow judge. The Archangel stared at the white haired elf for a moment before his spear began to release a black mist while also glowing with a bright light, a spear enfused with both darkness and light. Sifrei looked towards Ahriman and waited for a moment, and, once he found the chance, he threw the spear towards his new target while he was distracted. People in the past said that the spear would always find its target's heart, it was time to put that myth to the test. At the same time, the trio launched their attacks against the so called god. The Archangel threw his spear, enfused with both light and darkness, in an attempt to pierce Ahriman's heart. The young human girl, while not a hundred percent capable to fight, launched a powerful beam of light energy from the tip of her sword towards the false god that threatened their worlds. And lastly, the white haired elf quickly lowered her arms as the six elemental spirits unleashed a powerful beam of energy corresponding with their respective elements, that of water, earth, wind, fire, darkness, and two of light, thanks to Aura's own attack, and the archangel's spear.

- Aurion - Radiant Garden - Raising Falls - Aurion was busy trying to understand what was going on. He had been sent to complete a mission by his new employer, and then this happened. Two mysterious girl that showed the ability to wield the Keyblade. One was gone, and the other was behind him as they were currently running from whatever it was that was coming in their direction. "I had such a simple life before. Just a delivery boy doing errands, but now?" he hought, "now I am running away from, from whatever is coming." It took a moment for Aurion to notice that Erinys had stopped, and when he turned around he saw how a path to the darkness flickered into being, and a Dark Hide heartless that appeared from within. He had seen one of them when he was a child, but his parents always warned him to not get close enough, it was still a heartless and as such it could still take his heart away. "What did you, no, nevermind," he said, "It might prove to be the distraction that we need to go unnoticed by whoever is coming this way." With one last look to the Dark Hide, and waiting for the mysterious girl, Aurion resumed his way towards the castle. - Aether - Twilight Town - Aether was peeking inside through a window, watching as the guard on patrol quickly went running down the stairs, probably going to the control room, or to check their precious vault. Not that that was important to Aether, or her friend upstairs. As she reached the roof and scanned for possible threats she saw Kira going inside the room. "Everything is going fine for the time being," she thought as she got closer to the hole in the skylight and peeked inside, "Let's see if it stays that way." The ex-raven took one last look around the edge of the roof, just in case there was any sign of the guards coming up, such as the light from their flashlights for instance. Once she made sure no one was coming she silently made her way inside the room, making sure to make no noise on the way. "Found anything of importance, Kira?" Aether calmly asked.

Happy New Year from Mexico! I hope each and every one of you had a great time with all your friends and family I wish that this new year brings more positive things in your lives.

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres Palace - Christmas Day - The Tide Mother was content enough by Shiva's embrace that she began to think to the times when they first met each other. She was older than Shiva so she instantly took a liking to the young girl back when their parents used to hold meetings. "I have been fine, Shiva, and I couldn't be more happier now that I've had the chance to see you once more," Leviathan answered with a smile, "My husband, sadly, couldn't make the journey with us. Preparations for the Winter's Blessing festival were slightly behind schedule, and so he offered me the chance to come to your party while he stayed to attend that matter. Thankfully, Judge Magister Eliltari Ar-feiniel, Court Painter Aurora Aeternum and her brother Aurion, agreed to accompany me on this journey. And what about you, dear? I have not seen Raiden yet, is he not present tonight?" Leviathan looked at the physical contact between Shiva and the girl next to her, which was a tad strange. If Shiva allowed that kind of approach from the girl that was fine by her. The Tide Mother nodded at Shiva's suggestion to move their conversation towards the dining area. Meanwhile Aurion was looking between the two queens. "It is quite impressive when you think about it." He said quietly. "Whatever do you mean, Aurion?" Asked Rabiyu. "The Tide Mother and the Frostbearer. They look very much alike, if I didn't knew, I would say that they are related in some form, they could be sisters." Rabiyu looked towards the retreating form of the Tide Mother and the Frostbearer for a moment. The difference in height was noticeable, but looking at both her backs she thought that perhaps Aurion was right, they looked somewhat similar. "Shouldn't you, uh, we, stay close to Her Highness? It seems that it is almost time for dinner." He said to the elf. "That would be wise, yeah. As her retainer I should stay close just in case something goes wrong." Answered to him. "I'm sure everything will be fine. By the way, are you going to keep holding onto that gift, Eli? I think it would be better if you put it under the tree." Aurion said while smiling. "Nonsense. I will keep it with me for the time being." She answered without actually looking at him, "Come on, Aurion, let us follow the Tide Mother." Both the white haired elf and the young man in the black suit followed Leviathan closely, yet a little distance away, they didn't want to stand in her way, not tonight, not after waiting for so long to met with Shiva after all those years. The younger Aeternum sibling was further embarrassed by Helios's words. She looked as a goddess to him, something that no one had told her before, ever. And she had to admit, even if it was only to herself, that Helios looked very dashing. "Well, it seems that both of us have been blessed in many ways today, I got the chance to see you once more. It has been kind of lonely not having you by my side, but I do understand that you are working on your encyclopedia, and for that, I am proud of you," Aura said with a gentle smile, "Typical Uriel and Silverstrider, always reaching a compromise in the end. Your parents are quite an interesting couple, Helios. And you indeed look quite handsome, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Helios taking her hands in his made Aura blush slightly, she was not used to either much physical contact or sudden displays of affection, unless they were in private, but she was happy nonetheless. "Oh, you should see the festival that is held all around the north. It is quite something. The fistival is called Winter's Blessing, people from the Holy Order of the Silver Cross offer enchanted pieces of paper to write a wish," Aura said in a slightly excited tone, " then, at the eve of the Winter's Blessing festival, people gather in the city square and people of the Holy Order use arcane magic to turn the pieces of paper into small pieces of crystal that fly into the sky. It looks so beautiful. It's like watching hundreds, thousands of small shooting stars flying towards the sky." She had been witness of such spectacle the year before, although Helios wasn't there at the time, it was still an amazing sight, but it would have been better if Helios was there. She understood the reason, though, and she was fine with it. Helios's kiss on her forehead brought her back from memory lane. "Thank you," She said as she slowly leaned forwards and placed a gentle kiss on Helios's lips, "Merry Christmas to you too, Helios."

I hope you get better soon, Mystic. And don't worry, take your time, we can wait.

It think that should be enough time, but if everyone wants for it to last a little longer, that is fine with me. I think it depends how often we post to reach the end before New Years Day.

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres - Christmas Day - The siblings were taken by surprise by the sudden appearence of Helios, and more surprised with the hug they both received. Both Aurion and Aura hugged Helios back, he was, after all, part of their family. "Hello, Helios, It's been a while," Aurion said, "It is good to see you again," Aura was more embarrassed than ever at this point, she knew that Helios was coming to the party, he looked handsome in his ensemble, something that Aura quickly noticed. "Y-Yeah? I take it that you like it?" She asked in a very timid tone, something not that common coming from her, "It was a gift from Eli's sister-in-law, Arien. I was hesitant at first, but she worked so hard that it would have been rude from me to not wear what she made for us." Aurion was somewhat amused by his sisters and Helios's behavior when they were close to each other, but that was how lovebirds behaved, he guessed. Instead of intruding on their time, Aurion walked towards Rabiyu, who was standing a few meters away from the two Queens and the retainer. "Aren't you going to put that gift under the tree, Rabs?" Aurion asked, "you gave me all those other presents, but kept that one. Is there a reason? Or is it for someone in particular?" Rabiyu turned around the look at Aurion, her cheeks had a faint red tint, and it was no make up, no, she was blushing, and it was even more noticeable because of her pale skin. "It is quite alright, Aurion, I will deliver this gift personally when the time comes," she answered. The white haired elf noticed that, after the Tide Mother greeted the Frostbearer, she tilted her head and was paying very close attention to Eclaire for whatever reason, perhaps something to do with her behavior. The Tide Mother was almost a head taller than Shiva, and to some, it would look like as if they were relatives, sisters even. Leviathan indeed loved Shiva as much as an older sister would love her younger sibling. The door to the hall burst open, taking some of the guests by surprise. It was the Lord of Iron himself. Rabiyu stood straight as the tall Iron Lord passed by, as he was, by far, more important and powerful than her. Aurion noticed this and bowed slightly at the Iron Lord. Leviathan's eyes remained on Eclaire for a moment, before a strange, yet familiar presence made her turn around, only to find the Iron Lord of the Frozen Wastelands, the Sovereign of the long lost Ithuriel, in front of her. She bobbed a curtsy to him as a sign of utter respect, as she was taught since she was a young age that the Lord of Ithuriel deserve it.

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres - Christmas Day - Leviathan, gently and regal as she was, couldn't help but to be slightly amused by the guards' reactions to her presence, it was funny in a sense. People back at home were so used to her presence that such reactions were quite rare, at least those from the Cerulean Palace. "It depends on where you are, Arthur. For instance, we spend most of the time in Heimdall, where Queen Leviathan is the ruler of. The weather is quite nice, not to hot and not to cold, and in winter we do get snow from time to time," Aurion answered as he gave a nod to the guards, "But if you travel farther into the northern towns and cities? Now that is a different story." "We stayed a couple of months in the city of Exire, home of the Queen's husband, King Asura, and the weather there is cold most of the time, with the city being mostly surrounded by mountains and being next to the Frozen Wastelands," Aura said, "We had sunny days, but it was still cold. Even then, we had a great time." While the three of them were talking, Rabiyu was looking around the palace, it had been so long since the last time she had been there. The place looked different, decorations hanged from the windows, trees were decorated with flashing lights, it was lovely. The moment the Tide Mother stepped into the entrance of the palace, two guards stood straight and played a pair of trumpets. "Introducing Her Royal Highness, Ruler of The Divine City of Heimdall, Thea Nero Leviathan the Tide Mother and her entourage. The Lady Eliltari Ar-Feiniel, Judge Magister of the Knights of the Round. Aurion and Aurora Aeternum, attendants to her Royal Highness" Leviathan slightly shook her head and giggled, this kind of entrance was way beyond what she imagined, so hoped for something less extravagant, but she was used to it. The siblings were looking at the tree, it was both amazing and beautiful. Aura helped her brother to put the presents under the tree while Rabiyu stood by the Tide Mother's side. "Greetings, Queen Shiva de la Alexandria. It has been such a long time since our last meeting," Leviathan said in a regal tone as she walked towards her friend, she stopped in front of Shiva and gave her a gentle smile, "I have missed you so much." Without a care in the world, and without waiting for any reaction, Leviathan leaned towards Shiva, giving her a kiss in each of her cheeks before also kissing her forehead. "How have you been, my dearest friend?"

Well my friends, I wish you each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas for real this time. I hope you have a great time with your loved ones and enjoy the festivities.

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres - Christmas Day - "Ah yes, I do suppose it is quite a rare sight for me, ruler of the Divine City of Heimdall, to be walking on the streets of Kilkis Seres with such a small retinue, but I did not wished to cause a scene, not a big one at least," Leviathan said as she followed Arthur, "It was better this way, I think. My husband thought the same, and if any problem were to raise then the Judge Magister is here to protect me." Rabiyu glanced at Leviathan and gave a faint nod of agreement. Sure she was here as the retainer of Thea Nero Leviathan, but she was also invited by the Frostbearer to her Christmas party, for a reason she didn't understand. "Trust me, Master Gancelot, the Tide Mother is quite safe. I prepared a scouting patrol way ahead of time to search for any possible threats," Rabiyu said calmly, "And as you can see, there was no problem with having such a small retinue." "You think? Thank you. It is kinda embarrassing to say the least. We are not used to wear such fancy clothes," Aurion answered Arthur, trying his best to balance the gifts on his hands. "These ensembles were gifted to us by Eli's sister-in-law. I think these are the fanciest clothes we ever owned," Aura said with a nervous smile, "I am afraid that I will ruin them before the night ends." A new familiar voice was heard, the familiar voice of Morana. Leviathan was interested in the young woman that was standing in front of the group. Rabiyu gave her a small bow while both siblings waved at her, or at least one of them, the other was busy with the gifts. "Well, it seems our small group is getting bigger and bigger," Leviathan giggled, "We should hurry up before we are late. I am sure Queen Shiva is already waiting for us." With that, Leviathan resumed her walk towards the palace, closely followed by her retainer and the two human siblings. Rabiyu kept looking towards the palace as she held a wrapped medium sized box on her hands, wondering if she was going to be able to give that person her gift. A set of handmade scarf and hat, and a necklace made of silver and diamonds, both made by her. She had, of course, buyed gifts for the rest of the guests, but this one she had made herself for a very specific person.

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres - Christmas Day - The Northern Queen and her retinue stopped when a familiar voice was heard behind a wall of presents. The face of Arthur Gancelot showing up mere seconds later. "Ah, Sir Gancelot, it is quite a pleasant surprise to see you on this day," Leviathan answered while offering a small curtsy, "And by the look of it, it seems that you are more than ready for Christmas." Rabiyu stood next to the Tide Mother and offered a small bow towards Arthur, her onyx black armor with few leather straps, a cerulean blue sash around her shoulder and waist, and a cape of the same colour getting the attention of some passersby. "Greetings, Master Gancelot, it is nice to see you are well," Rabiyu said. Aura, who was wearing a black dress with golden trims and complicated beautiful patterns in gold threads that reached almost to her shins, along with it a golden piece of silk cloth around her arms, and a golden hairpin with a small sapphire holding her hair in a bun, offered Arthur a courteous nod. The ensemble was a gift from Rabiyu's sister-in-law, Arien, who told her that black and gold looked great on her. This made her feel slightly embarrassed since she was not exactly lady material, rather, she had been considered a tomboyish girl her whole life. Although it was complicated to not notice the few looks that some were giving her. Looks of surprise, amazement, wonder, and a few of jealousy too. It was kinda nice. Some even thought she was one of the few carefully selected attendants of the Tide Mother, and THAT was such a huge honor. Aurion was wearing a similar fully black suit with gold jewelry accenting it, it was a simple suit, but it looked quite fancy, something he, nor his sister would be able to afford back at home, but by the good will of Rabiyu's sister-in-law, their ensembles were made at no cost. In fact, Aurion was turning a few eyes his way, some fey women whispering among them about the dashing looking man following the fabled Tide Mother. He peeked past the gifts he was carrying to give Arthur a nod and a smile. "It wasn't my intention to cause a commotion by coming to Kilkis Seres after all these years, but Queen Shiva was kind enough to invite us to her party, and It would have been rude to reject such an invitation," Leviathan said calmly, "Perhaps we could all walk together to the palace? Unless you have some other place you have to be at the moment, of course."

- Leviathan, Rabiyu, Aura and Aurion - Kilkis Seres - Christmas Day - "Kilkis Seres is lovely at this time of the year," the ruler of Heimdall said to her retainer, "It has been ages since the last time I was here." Rabiyu was walking behind Thea Nero Leviathan, the Tide Mother, ruler of Heimdall, the Divine City of Water in the Northern Lands. She was looking around at Kilkis Seres, she had never been there at this specific celebration, but apparently the Tide Mother wanted to come visit on this specific day for some reason. They still had to get things ready for Winter's Blessing back at home, but if she wanted to visit the Frostbearer, who was she to stop her. Many were turning to look at the beautiful woman in the regal cerulean dress and hair waving in a none existent breeze, like being underwater, casually walking on the street, and her small retinue, Rabiyu had to make sure no one tried something funny. "We were here only for short amount of time. Sure looks different," Aura said, "kinda amazing it is the same place." "Why is today such an important day?" Aurion asked while carrying presents, "what do fey celebrate today? is that the reason for all these presents?" "Today is Christmas day. A day to celebrate with family and friends. A time to be with your loved ones," Leviathan answered Aurion, "Didn't you have something like that in the world below?" Both siblings look at each other and shrug, not completely sure if such a thing existed since they barely spend much time in the cities. "The King of Kings must be disappointed he couldn't make it. He has been having a large amount of work these past few days," Rabiyu said absentmindedly, "Same with Judge Mond. He said that he was going to Ustrina, probably to help Mayoress Loxy." The Tide Mother giggled at the thought of Sifrei Mond trying to ask the young fairy Mayoress out on a date, especially so close to Winter's Blessing, but she hoped that he was successful in whatever he was trying to do. "We are almost there. It has been a long time since the last time I saw Shiva. A long, long time," Leviathan said as she looked towards the palace, "It will fun to spend the day here." With that the Tide Mother and her small retinue continued their way towards the palace of Kilkis Seres. Her completely aware that the people around were stopping whatever they were doing to take a look at one of the fabled rulers of the Northern Lands.

Well, I have a two-week vacation so If everyone wants to power through that is fine with me, or if everyone wants a two-week break that is fine too. I think it depends on everyone's schedules, but I'm fine with either choice. And a mini christmas special sounds good, count me in. And early Merry Christmas from your friendly neighborhood Pelgrim of the Stars and his silly Elf!

- Rabiyu - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - "Believe what you will, Yevgeni, but at this point we really should focus on what we have to do. Whether that means that we will die here, or we will fight against each other once this false god is defeated, our main priority is to take him down," Rabiyu said as she grabbed Yevgeni's hand to stand up, "And do not worry, your back will be safe, I will make sure of that for the time being." Rabiyu looked at the Cyph for a moment, but when she noticed that Yevgeni was no longer there she saw that Ahriman was targeting a giant wall of ice. She remembered that that spot was were Aura, Sifrei and the princess were, so she quickly jumped into the air and flew towards them. - Aura and Sifrei - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - "Eclaire, watch out!" As Aura gave the lamp to the Retainer she saw the imminent attack of Ahriman approaching, Athena also noticing the attack as she grabbed her upper arm and pointed. Aura did the only thing that came to mind, she turned around and embraced the princess, she wasn't going to let Athena get hurt, not if she could do something, anything, to prevent it, and so she was going to use her own body to protect her from the impact. Sifrei was watching the coming attack, and as he was asked to do, he extended both palms while facing the ice wall, a magical dome of light appearing around those close enough to be inside, meaning Aura, Athena, Eclaire and Sif were being protected by this small dome of light, even if it wasn't much against such a powerful attack. At that point another figure landed in front of the Archangel, the familiar form of Rabiyu was now touching the ice barrier with both hands. "Mother of Ice, grant thy child thy strength this day," She said with a faint echoing voice, "Holy spirit become our shield and protect us!" As Rabiyu finished her spell, a few glyphs began to appear all over the ice wall, the spell was meant to make it stronger, more resistant, to the attack of Ahriman. Hopefully with the help of Yevgeni's own magical shield, the wind magic, and the now enhanced wall of ice, Ahriman's attack would make less damage than what was originally planned. Rabiyu knew that she had to protect the others, but more importantly Aura.

- Astrid Siv - Hyssop Town - Hyssop Pokemon Gym - "Oh, so you thought that we, that I, was a ghost. No, I am no ghost nor I've seen one," Ammy said to Freo, "The Lady used to be scared of ghost types back when she was small. She always asked her parents to check for monsters under the bed or inside the closet." The ninetales glanced at her master and slightly nodded, as if giving an approving nod. "But with the passing of the seasons she managed to conquer that fear." Astrid's sketching came to a sudden stop when the Gym leader began to feel impatient because the trainer who had come to challenge him was not able to defeat him before the time limit came to an end. This person was not only rude, but also he also looked quite self-centered. The guy who was with the Lucario had gone down to try to stop the leader, only to be attacked by one of his pokemon. The guy was saved by his own Sceptile, who used his own tail for an attack, and managed to defeat the Gym leader's pokemon. As this happened, Ammy quickly moved in front of Astrid, her intention clear, to protect her master from any possible harm. "What is going on? This goes against the rules of a pokemon battle," Astrid said. At that moment the doors of the gym suddenly opened and a young girl came inside, followed by two Pancham. This girl was asking the Pokemon League Champion for a battle, which confused Astrid. Apparently the Champion was in the gym.

- Rabiyu - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - Yevgeni's wave of holy light magic made Rabiyu skid a few inches back, but the spell that she held on her raised arm was not affected by that. "Quiet! That won't be enough to stop what is coming," Rabiyu managed to say to her fellow elf in a strained tone, "You won't be able to interfere with His Holiness. I will take you out before that can happen." Rabiyu watched as Yevgeni ran in her direction, ready to pierce her in a flurry of blows, to which Rabiyu still kept trying to open her hand to unleash the power contained. Just as Yevgeni's rapier was about to make contact with her chest, this, however, was stopped by something in front of her prevented the rapier from reaching her. There was nothing there, nothing that she could see at the moment, but a familiar voice made her realize what had happened, Typhon had stopped Yevgeni's attack and now was holding her hand. At that moment she could feel how the power of her spell slowly diminishing with each passing moment. She felt a familiar sensation on her body, the sensation when someone was inflicted with dragonblight. "Whatever it is that you are planning, Cyph, it will not work. Dragonblight has but little effect on-" Rabiyu's words came to a stop at that moment after she felt something touch her waist and stomach, this made the elf blush immediately, and try her hardest to not laugh, "How dare you put your hands on me , Cyph! I will turn you into dust for your insolence!" The white haired elf's concentration was faltering, the spell was getting out of her control, it would either fade away or release and hurt her, and probably the cyph too, the tickles weren't helping either. She was fightin against Typhon's antics, the time bomb she had on her hand, and the blasted seal that was preventing her from taking any sort of action against His Holiness. With enough effort she had managed to almost fully open her hand, that was until she felt a wave of pain on her head, possibly caused by the cyph head-butting her at such a close distance. This caused two things, first, the seal fully took over her body, effectively making her unable to do anything, second, the spell disappeared and caused a magical backlash inside the elf's body. Rabiyu's whole body went limp, thanks to that backlash from the spell, she was now unconsious. Rabiyu's hand quickly moved and grasped the arm of Typhon, even when she couldn't see it, she had regained consciousness just a moment ago. Why she was being hold by the cyph, she didn't knew. Why was Yev trying to attack her, she didn't knew either. "It would be appreciated if you let go of my hand at this moment. Instead, we should be fighting against the man who thinks himself a god," Rabiyu said to Typhon, "so please, let me go and focus on the person who really matters instead of attacking your own allies." She had no idea what happened before the fused being attacked her and her mind fell into darkness, but now that she was back they had to focus on their target, the one who thought himself a god. - Aura and Sifrei - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - Aura was startled by the sudden appearance of Eclaire, and the spear that summoned a barrier of ice in front of her, Sifrei and Athena, the Archangel was ready to fight Eclaire, but he sensed no ill will towards Aura, nor the human princess, so he allowed her to speak. To say that Aura was confused was an understatement. She had heard the words of Eclaire, she had been a source of morale for the group that was currently fighting with a wannabe god. The retainer of the Ice Queen was asking for something she didn't want to give up, if only because she didn't knew the woman too well, but she was right, they needed the wish, they needed Rufus' help, even if it meant not helping him get his freedom at the moment. "I was waiting for a chance to help Rufus regain his freedom, but with only one wish per person I suppose that is not possible at the moment," Aura said while looking at Eclaire, her hands still holding the lamp, "but this is what needs to be done if we want to survive, if we can get a chance to defeat our enemy with a wish then so be it, I am sure Rufus would understand." Aura glanced around, trying to find Rufus, but her sight was still not good, and so she sighed and looked at Eclaire, offering the magical lava lamp. "Take it. Wish for whatever you think is necessary to succeed," Aura said, "make your wish count."

- Aurion - Radiant Garden - Raising Falls - Aurion was watching Erinys as she created one of the dark coats he had seen some people wear to protect themselves, which Aurion supposed would be used to protect herself from the light. That had been interesting to watch, but more interesting was the change on the young woman's face. It looked as if different emotions were happening at the same time. "Hey, are you-" Aurion asked. The Ex-delivery boy didn't managed to finish the question as the girl in front of him summoned an all too familiar weapon, a Keyblade. This day had been full of surprises, he had met two different people, and those two same people had been able to summon such weapon, just like him. He didn't had much time to follow that line of thought as whatever was coming was getting closer and closer with each passing second. "Right, let's move." Aurion took a quick look around, and once he made sure there was no one near that could spot them, he began to run towards the castle in the distance." - Aether - Twilight Town - The moment Kira gave the signal, Aether pressed her wristwatch to activate the EMP. On the outside it looked like nothing had happened, but any electronic device would cease to function, leaving the building complete unprotected from intruders. Aether watched as Kira began to move towards the roof and she followed suit, but instead of following her she took a different route, better to take two different paths and not risk to being found out, not the two at the same time, at least. Each time Aether thought someone would appear she use anything as a hidding spot, when she was sure that she was safe she kept going until she could reach the roof. "I wonder what we will find out on this place," Aether thought, "What was this guy doing to deserve such fate? I guess we will find out sonner or later."

- Astrid Siv - Hyssop Town - Hyssop Pokemon Gym - "Oh, so you are from Jotho? I have been there a few times in the past and I have visited some of its cities," Astrid said, "I'm always interested in visiting new places, hence why I am here in the first place. I do miss my parents and my home, but the world is a big place, and there is so much to learn." Ammy tilted her head in slight confusion at Freo's question, wondering what he meant, but then she realized what she had been doing the whole time. "Oh, we apologize. I apologize. Ever since I was a young cub I've had the habit of speaking in what humans call the "Royal we". Back then I used to do it when I was nervous, it helped me to think better," Ammy answerd Freo, "Nowadays it is just normal for me to speak like that. I do suppose it can confuse others, such as yourself, but we suppose, I suppose, can tone it down." (Youngster Joey is such a nice kid, and his Rattata is cool. Such a shame Elly doesn't have him on her favorite numbers.)

Welcome to the RP, Heart.

- Aurion - Radiant Garden - Raising Falls - "I guess you are right. He could use humans, heartless, and whatever else he can find." Aurion looked behind him after he placed the scanner and covered the device's hiding spot. "And I agree that the Dark Realm has a, what did you called it? hardier stock than those of the Light? Living in the Dark is tough." He noticed as the Noxling froze, as if she had seen or heard something in the distance. This made Aurion turn around to look. "Something like- you know what, never mind, we should get out of here quickly. If the map that I was given is correct, there is a castle further down the road. We could make out way there, maybe we can find a place to get out of sight along the way." - Aether - Twilight Town - Aether was looking at the building windows for any sign of security, and find a sign she did. She caught sight of a lantern light, and a few moments later she saw the guard. "Got it. We have two potential guards on the lower floors," Aether said, "We can only assume they will try to find the source of the disruption once the EMP does its job. I'd say that we will have a good amount of time until they find out what is going on." The Ex-raven gave Kira a thumbs up, and after that she took another quick peek outside. "Just give me a couple of minutes while I get this toy ready, alright?" Without waiting for a response, Aether quickly made her way around the building, using a pistol like device to shoot small devices at strategic points on the building walls, all while taking several looks around to avoid any onlooker, or those blasted ships. When she thought that someone was coming she quickly took cover in any possible hiding spot until the threat was gone, she then resumed her work. After a couple minutes Aether returned. "Alright, it is done. The moment you want to begin just say so and I will activate the EMP," Aether said to Kira, "All devices will be out of commision, giving us enough time to look for whatever it is that we are looking for. And about the guards? Don't worry, I won't hurt them, that much."

- Rabiyu - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - It looked like everyone had made up their minds, they had chose destruction rather than salvation, which was not surprising, at all. Eclaire, Henry, Alastor, Helios, even Yevgeni would try to stop Ahriman's dream from coming true, and she was not going to let that happen, not without a fight. "And who are you to judge what is possible and what isn't, Yevgeni?" Rabiyu answered Yevgeni, "Your apprentice may have a soft heart, but I do not, nor I am as weak as you think. Perhaps it is time for you to learn one final lesson." At that moment, when it was obvious that not a single one of them were going to submit to Ahriman, Rabiyu did a few quick handsigns. The glowing hexagons ready to release their power towards their targets, until two fast shadows interrupted their function and destroyed them. She could see Henry and Elia in the corner of her eye, and while her mind was telling her to help the poor girl, she was not able to do so, her purpose was to stop them, not help. "What does it matter, the time to talk is over, Dragon Hunter. Neither you, Henry, Eclaire, Helios, or any present here will get in HIS way, " Rabiyu said to Alastor as she raised her hand to the sky, " I summon the power of the mighty spirit of the north, lend me thy anger and unleash thy wrath upon mine enemies!" The previous spell that she had casted was almost done with the storm that was created, possibly, by Alastor, so it faded away, leaving only remnants of the storm. The air around began to feel heavier and heavier with each passing second as Rabiyu's hand closed into a fist before it began to glow brighter and brighter. Anyone close enough to the elf would began to feel how power gathered on the elf's closed hand, raising and raising without any sign of stopping. "Descend upon us, Northern Star, and reduce to dust everything in your path! Senan Exo-" At the moment the white haired elf was about to open her hand and unleash the power of one of the ancient forbidden spells of destruction a mark on her chest began to glow and spread around her whole body. The power of the spell then was getting weaker as she was unable to complete the casting. The glowing marks that now adorned the elf were preventing her from moving and casting anything else. This had been a failsafe put on her many centuries ago, in case she was out of control. "What is this? I-I can't move," She said, "No, this not possible. I will not a-allow it!" Rabiyu tried her hardest to move, to cast anything to get free from the seal that was binding her, but in the end she was unable to do it, she was unable to keep helping Ahriman. That only meant that she failed and that she was deserving of the same fate as the rest of them. "I might not be able to destroy all of you like I had planned, but the power that I still have left will be enough to take destroy a few of you!" As Rabiyu yelled those words, the remaining power of the forbidden spell that she still had began to gather on her hand once more, this was going to be one last effort to stop them, even if it meant taking damage for her own attack, or even worse, dying from it.

- Astrid Siv - Hyssop Town - Hyssop Pokemon Gym - "Oh, I'm from the Kanto region. I was born in the Cinnabar Island to be precise," Astrid answered, stopping her sketching for a moment, "Small place before, you know, disappearing thanks to the volcanic eruption. My parents used to work at a research lab back in the day." Astrid was still looking towards the arena, but she scratched her cheek absentmindedly while talking about her old home. "So yeah, that's where I'm from. What about you Elly? Are you from Kanto?" she asked the young girl. Ammy listened to both Freo and Xsira, a little intrigued by their interaction. "Your assumption is correct, Freo. We have been with the Lady ever since she was young, back when we were also young and had another form," Ammy answered Freo while glancing at Astrid, "We were the Lady's first companion, and we have been at at her side always. She took care of us since the very beginning, and we, in return, keep the Lady safe. If what we saw is correct, both of you also take care of your human companion."

- Rabiyu - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - Rabiyu watched as Helios took to the sky once more, and, somehow, launch another attack at Nergodin. As the dust around the shattering shield of light settled, Rabiyu's attention was pulled back from watching Nergodin, or Ahriman, thanks to a familiar voice. "Just like I said to Monroe over there, my mind hasn't been this clear in centuries," Rabiyu answered as she turned to look at Yevgeni, "but what would you know about that, Yevgeni." The white haired elf's piercing red eyes looked directly into Yevgeni's. And while dull and blurry, they still held a hint of something else, something hidden deep inside. Was it sorrow? or shame? maybe it was confusion, confusion as to why she was doing what she was doing. She watched as Elia, one member of their group, was hit, one of her wings completely gone. "Why would you know? It's not like we have shared what is inside our minds. And unlike your precious apprentice over there, I will not hesitate to destroy whoever stands in the way of HIS wish," She said, voice completely calm and devoid of emotion, "Just look around you. Everyone has suffered the loss of something important, and gained nothing in return. You cannot stop what is about to happen." Rabiyu took a moment to let Yev look at their surroundings, and what was going on on the battlefield. Helios, Henry, Alastor, Eclaire, Rhea, Xion, Jynn, Elia, Dawson, Alderon, Mariel, and the rest, each and every one had sacrificed everything to be there, to be able to fight against Ahriman. It was at that moment that the city began to morph, twist and turn, as if reality itself twisted into itself. Rabiyu raised her hands while making hand signs and whispering arcane words just as six smaller glowing hexagons appeared, all of which began to gather energy to fire another beam of light. Two hexagons ready to fire at each side of Yevgeni, Typhon and Soren. "Listen to his words. There has been enough suffering already," Rabiyu said, "Stop fighting and swear your allegiance to him, or else you will be destroyed."

- Rabiyu - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - "I have no desire to kill you, Cyph. Your kind sufferend enough of that, that is why they are gone," Rabiyu said to Typhon, "but if death if what you want, then death I will give you." Four more daggers came out from behind Rabiyu's belt, they quickly flew upwards, followed by the two daggers that the elf was using. The six daggers stopped above Typhon, each one of them in a different spot. "In the name of the Lady, I beg for her Judgment to fall upon this impure soul!," Rabiyu's echoey voice said. The daggers above glowed just as a beam of light moved from one dagger to the next, until it formed a glowing hexagon above Typhon. Rabiyu raised her hand towards the glowing hexagon, and just as quickly she moved her hand down. From the center of the hexagon a huge amount of magical energy began gether, taking the shape of a huge sword, but before it could form completely it shot a beam of pure light from the tip towards Typhon, anything that the beam of light touched would be instantly turned to ashes by the intense heat. Rabiyu took that time to notice that the clouds had gathered above the battlefield, just as she also noticed that Nergodin had suffered damage from Eclaire's attack, but he was regenerating, which was a good sign that he was alright. Just as he lanched an attack towards some of the people from the group lightning bolts put an end to the orbs he had launched, only for one of those lightning bolts to reveal the form of Alastor. Rabiyu could feel the draconic essence coming from him, which she was not surprised about, but that could spell problems for Nergodin if left on his own. "Alastor's element is lightning, meaning this storm is helping him obtain more power. Keep the element controlled and then dispel it," Rabiyou thought, "Undine of Water, Salamander of Fire, Sylph of Wind, Gnome of Earth, I beseech thee. As life in the Overworld lays silent, may so the elements sleep in silence. I command you dispel the storm that threathen us all!" An intricate looking magical circle appeared underneath Rabiyu, just as four spots, signaling the four cardinal points, began to glow blue, red, green and brown. From this spots, 4 glowing orbs of said colours began to rise before they flew away in different directions. When the orbs were in place they began to dispel the storm above the battlefield. Maybe not as fast as Rabiyu would have wished, as she didn't had the means to summon, or fully control, the full might of the elementals, but in a few minutes the storm would be hopefully gone. "To have the ability to control such power, it is impressive," Rabiyu thought, "but he must not be allowed to interfere with his goal." - Aura and Sifrei - Isopolis: The City of Isolation - On the other side of the battlefield, Aura was watching as the battle went on, or at least had a vague idea of what was going on, as she quickly made her way towards princess Athena and Sifrei. She did notice that the barrier that Rabiyu had casted to protect her and fading, which meant anyone who had been protected by that first cast would be unprotected in a few seconds. "I feel so useless," Aura thought to herself, "I cannot yet control what I can do with this...this curse. And whatever happened to my eyes cannot be fixed. I just hope Eli is alright." Aura clutched Sifrei's cloak, closing her eyes and praying to whatever gods were watching them to help them succeed in their mission. The Archangel was cimply watching the battle unfold, his fellow angel had been blinded by the Sanguis Vindicta, his fellow judge had turned to the fused being's side, the rest of them were attacking that fused being only for him to regenerate his missing limbs. Whatever was happening was just not important for the silent Archangel, only protecting Aura and the princess, as he was ordered to do, was important at that moment.

- Astrid Siv - Hyssop Town - Hyssop Pokemon Gym - Astrid looked at Elly's pokemon with complete interest, both were cute in their own way. The one introduced as Freo was the one who had been watching her as she offered to help Elly before, and just like she thought, he was protective of Elly. Next to him was the Espeon known as Xsira, she was the one who was far more accepting. Astrid slowly reached her hand out and gently scratched both pokemon's ears. "It is a pleasure to met both of you," She said, "I hope you continue to take care of Elly." The young woman then continued to draw in her sketchbook. The challenger had the advantage of type, but even so, the Gym leader was a leader for a reason, he better focused on doing his best. "Oh, it's no problem. It's always a pleasure to help those who want to learn more about pokemon," Astrid said with a smile, "I was also not familiar with the pokemon outside of Kanto and Jotho. Pokemon are something worth knowing about, and that is why I decided to travel around, to learn more about the pokemon outside my home. Battles are a way to show how much a trainer and their pokemons understand each other. " At this point Ammy noticed that Freo was looking at her, there was something in his eyes that made her notice him. "How may we be of assistance?" She said in pokespeak as her tails swayed from side to side, "Is there something that we may help you with?
