Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Rose easily dodges the knife and stops in midair. She glares at Legion and Ayn. "I'm not allowed to kill you, I think. But I can hurt you so badly that you will WISH you were dead!"

Rose focuses her magical powers into her blade and slashes the sword down, creating the Abbisian attack. A wave of energy erupts from the blade, towards both Ayn and Legion. Rose follows this through by passing by Ayn again and slicing with Fate.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

A snarl tugs at her lips. The arch demon was really asking for it.. "Since you're so amused by this, perhaps you could put me down when we land so that I can leave."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Rose laughs, slashing at Legion's dagger and hand. "Dolls? Don't you get it?" She increases her blows against him. "YOU are my doll. You, Ayn, TZM. All of you!"

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

"I am no pawn. My power is my own." She bursts upwards in a sudden movement, then spiraling downwards towards Legion's head. At last minute, however, she pulls back up and kicks the back of his head.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Sees Ayn get taken away, but dose not worry too much, she could take care of herself, he knew this, he knew her power. Looks back at gale and his outstretched hand, him charging the energy to fire. Watches Gale posision himself intoa new way, so that to avoid the grave that seperated them.

What was that about?... why didn't he want it destroyed?... maybe... just maybe...

Still stands ground, not moving although the threat of the blast verry present in mind. I really don't need to worry anyways...

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Legion takes the hit, but seems to be little more then disoriented by it. "Hmph, you interpret power just like a child would. You are weak." Legion increases his speed greatly, slash from all sides at Rose.

Gale releases the blast of energy, but it detonates before reaching TZM and instead blinds him for a moment. Meanwhile Gale dives downward with Sin, hoping to catch him off guard.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Rose's energy forms a weak barrier around her, not gaurding her from Legion's attacks but rather weaking them. She hisses and lashes out, trying to hit him and missing. "Ah, stop it!" Her energy explodes outwards, in a massive solid orb of red-black. The effect of it leaves Rose disoreinted and somewhat weakened, but still able to fight.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Looks at Gale coming towards currently imprisoned body and smiles.

Oh come on Gale, that old trick?

Still does nothing to avoid him one bit, just stands and smiles.

I hope you can take what your willing to dish out...

Eyes glow grean.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Rose curses under her breath and dives under the attack and in front of the two, blocking their way. She lands, folding her wings neatly two her sides. "I cannot let you leave. Stand and fight."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

As the blast and gale both come towards me, looks slightly sidetracted, although still in the "prison" that gale has putt around me to hold me in place.

Damn...

Closes eyes slightly, then opens them again, and a grean orb surounds rose, then disapears, reapearing several yards away from where she was.

Ayn must leave... let her be...

Looks back to gale, a slight smile on face, as a slight trickle of sweat runs from my brow.

I'm waiting "all powerful one..."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

((They did leave, chase them to TLC/Blythandor ruins to contine it Wolf. :P))
Gale tilts his head to the side and snickers. "You're the one that started this. I must admit, you've improved marvelously. However, by nature the Abbis were stronger then humans. You might be able to keep up, but defeating me is something out of your reach. I'll give you one last chance to leave my home, for old times sake."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Smiles as he looks at Gale, the blast and the prison still on. All this is a hinderance to some, but nothing to me.

Who ever said i was human "old friend?"

Suddenly, without seaming to move from the current place, disapears for a slight moment and gale reapears in spot where I was, blast mere inches from face.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Gale smirks, amused by the move. "Whatever you are, I've killed better."Gale ducks and slashes with Sin. "You said it yourself, I was always better."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Smirks, lettign the blow come at me.

You really do know nothing...

Faster than can be seen, disapears and reapears next to Gale at his side and kicks him into the blast.

I was human... but not anymore...

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Gale spins in midair to avoid the blast. "I grow tired of this." Gale stops in midair and ascends above TZM. "A man without a purpose is no man at all, and will not defeat me."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Stands where he is, not caring for Gale's figure above him. he holds his sword tyo his side, looking asd if he doesn't even care any more bout him.

better than i thought... but still... not as much as I woudlahve expected of you Gale Onarav. As for my pourpose... that of which does not concern you in any way... what about you eh? the usual "destroy the world" or "rule it" or do a bunch of dirty deads just to prove my evilness" ploys? theirs plenty to pick from really. or do you wan to just fight?

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

"No one does evil for evil's sake, you fool. I will allow you to live, but only because I have something I need to do." Gale fires a blast of white light at TZM which splits and reforms on top of him. When the flash of lights from the blast fades, TZM is gone. Gale slowly lands in the courtyard and leans against a wall.

((Sorry to end this suddenly, but I intend to end this thread within a few more posts.)

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

((I see, for meggido, ok))

TZM reapears many miles away ina deserted place. he sighs and smiles, looking back towards the castle's direction.

hew as holiding back on me... thats good...

turns abck and smiles, starting to walk away.

So was I...

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Gale stares at the unmarked grave that could be only recognized by the dirt that covered it instead of grass. Gale seems absent for a few moments, as if he wasn't even real. He eventually leave his castle through the front gates and heads down into the valley bellow.

After only a few minutes Gale returns to the courtyard with a large stone being carried above his head. He places it down and front of him and pauses for a moment. Soon the negative energy that makes up his soul and gives him his magical powers flows through his hands and concentrates in his fingertip. Using it like a laser, he cuts through the stone, eventually creating a rather modest looking tombstone. Most stones were far more elagent, created to mirror the images of crosses, Angels and other symbols of religion. Gale despised all of them, nor would he make anything in the likness of them. Carefully, he carves the name "Laena" into the stone. Now that he thought about it, he doubted that was even her real name. In fact, Siren language seemed to be entirely in song, or so it seemed to him. Regardless of that, he had known her as that, so that's all that mattered. His Laena was the one who layed here. He gently places the stone behind the graves and presses it into the ground so it would stay. The Abbis then sinks to the ground, clutching on to the grave weakly. "You know, you were all that really mattered. You were all I needed to be happy again... I took me far to long to realize that. Now...I'm all alone again. I'll share my agony and pain with the world, then it can die with me and it can all be over. I won't have to be here anymore. I..."

Gale slumps against the rock, and something like muffled sobs faintly echo across the courtyard, to be heard or seen by no one but the emptiness of the castle. Tears and blood trickle to the grass bellow, staining the ground. Sin gleams in the moonlight, the black blade is also stained with blood, which slowly seeps into the soil in with the tip of the blade is stabbed. Gale's head is bowed over the grave, his arms dangling as he lost to strength to hold on to the grave, leaving trails of blood on the face of the grave. His barely open eyes gaze at the ground bellow, a slight smile forms on his face as he embraces the growing darkness, and slips into unconsciousness.


((Alright until I say otherwise this is to be the END of Gale's Castle 2. After Megiddo this thread might be used again, but there will be circumstances and there will be NO posts until I give permission.))

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

((As of today, Gale's Castle [Part 2] is now REOPENED as a location thread. Feel free to wander in and do some research or visit with Ayn, who is residing here for the time being.

Out of respect for the previous owner, please, ABSOLUTELY NO LOOTING, unless you'd like to get an ass-whooping from Ayn.))

After returning from Pasadga, she had taken quite a bit of her time cleaning up the mess in the library. It felt somewhat surreal, as if her body had just decided to try to restore the place without really telling her mind. Exhausted, but really unable to rest, she's now parked at a desk silently thumbing through a thin book with handwritten notes inside.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara leans on a nearby shelf and watches Ayn quietly. "All the curses are broken, passages and doors have appeared, and in some cases vanished. There's a lot of stuff here..."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

"Yeah.." She seems rather engrossed by the small book, even though she couldn't understand a lot of it. Some of it was written in English, the rest in Abbissian. While she could speak the language, nobody had ever taught her to read or write it.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara looks over Ayn's shoulder. "I'll have to teach you how to read Abbissian."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Ayn hands Lara the book. "Care to translate it for me?"

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara examines it for a moment before looking at Ayn. "What do ya know...it's his diary."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Ayn blinks, surprised. "A diary.. I never thought of Gale as the type to keep a diary.." She pauses for a minute, thinking. "What's it say?"

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara reads and flips through a few pages. "Jesus, all he talks about is Laena. Seems after he died he spent some time hunting down any information he could find on her."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

"Hmm.. It seems he cut out some of my own work without realizing it. Did he find anything?"

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara continues reading and doesn't look up when she answers. "Yes, he did. He says he put everything he found in her room... There's something else. It says he found out he actually had a book with information about the Sirens in the library, but apparently he couldn't find it."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Lara frowns. "You should rest, you look exhausted."

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Ayn frowns, then gets up. "I suppose.." She didn't really want to sleep, rather she wanted to continue going through everything searching for any type of comfort. However it was getting more and more difficult to think straight. A quick nap would probably be best.

"I'll be back in a bit.." Ayn heads out of the library and down the hall, turning into the closest bedroom. The bed's made but there are books and wine bottles strewn across it, as well as on the floor.

Oddly enough, climbing into her big brother's bed and curling up with a pillow brought a sense of comfort to her, and after a few minutes she dozes off.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

The screech of wheels are heard outside the Castle. Cloud walks into the Castle after getting off of his motorcycle. He had a bandage tied around his head and with a very nice new set of clothes and a sleek looking pauldron on his left shoulder. He was clad in black, still with a sleeveless shirt. Only this time a black sleeve hung from his left arm and covered his robotic arm, as well as a black glove. He still had the gauntlet on his right hand, only shined up and spiffy. He looks around as he unsheathes his still cracked buster sword. He walks into the library and leans the sword on the wall, noticing Lara. He uncomfortably speaks with her. "Sorry about before... how is Ayn?"

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
 

Riki moans and holds her head, walking in and joining Ayn and the rest. "I feel like a train hit me..." She looks around meekly. "I'm guessing I missed a hell of a lot. Where did everybody go?"
