[b][i]Chapter One - The Arrival[/i][/b] [i]The cosmos.[/i] [i]Deep, endless and yet, filled with anomalies, stars and worlds that span across it's vast depths for billions and billions of light years. The darkness of space remained still and motionless, it's dark vacuum faintly gleaming with the occasional star within it's depths.[/i] [i]Before a rift appeared.[/i] [i]The rift began with a sudden BOOM!, which sounded across the planets near the opening rift - including Tatakai. The anomaly began to widen, as an endless pit of darkness opened within the vacuum of space. And out of it, a gargantuan ship of tangled metal, massive thrusters propelling it out of the wormhole as the dreadnaught exited the hole within reality quickly. It's deep hum was restless and continuous within space, as the ship began to direct it's course straight towards the world of Tatakai.[/i] [i]And somewhere aboard the dreadnaught was the Boundless One. The Slave Without Chains. The Machine God.[/i] [i]Althreath.[/i] --------------------------- [b][i]Tatakoi Plains, 6:30 PM[/i][/b] "Come on, come on-" "We need to move, now-" "Wake up, wake up-" "ARIANNA!" [i]Arianna suddenly woke with a jolt of movement, as a slight yell escaped her mouth. She looked around in a flurry of movements - before resting her eyes upon her dæmon, Achreíos, who was nudging her left arm furiously.[/i] [i]If one could describe Arianna, you could assume almost immediately that she was the traveling type, even at her young age. The young woman was about eighteen or nineteen, judging from her appearance, while her overall height was six feet and three inches tall. A lavish grey overcoat was cast over her thin, yet athletic body, while a black buttoned shirt was underneath that. The dress pants that she wore were covered in dirt, although she didn't care too much, as she began to strap on her leather boots and gloves onto her feet and hands. Her skin was a pale color, her eyes a light blue color. After applying her huntress bandana over her mouth and the tattered tri-corne hat that she was familiar with, alongside grabbing her gear which was stuffed within a large duffel bag, she stumbled out of her small tent, and into the field that she and her dæmon had settled upon.[/i] [i]To describe Achreíos in particular...well, his biography will be available shortly, to explain what a dæmon truly is. He was merely a twenty-four inch long pine marten, a type of mammal usually found within Europe and Asia. His red-gold fur gleamed in the last remnants of sunlight, his light blue eyes flickering with the same curiosity that was within Arianna's.[/i] [i]The twenty-four inch long pine marten exited the tent after his human, as she only stared up at the sky. Blotting out the sun was a massive triangular ship, it's thick shape beginning to blur as if didn't even fully exist in reality. Hundreds of orb-like beings began to appear within the skies of Tatakai, as Achreíos only yelled to Arianna as he found himself upon her shoulder. [/i] "The Dojo, Arianna! They'll be capable of destroying him!" [i]He squeaked, before descending into her grey coat's pocket as she began to run straight towards the Dojo.[/i] [i]She wouldn't make it in time on her own.[/i] --------------------------- [b][i]Dojoville[/i][/b] [i]The magnifying sounds of gunfire and steel clashing against steel rang throughout the city of Dojoville, as massive orb-like machines began to tear throughout the skies, ripping through space and time as they proceeded to deploy hundreds - maybe thousands - of robotic beings, each wielding either fully automatic ballistic-firing guns or vibrant blue energy bows. They only appeared to keep arriving, as to finish the invading force-[/i] [i]A behemoth of a creature slammed down, before crawling from the rubble of the home it had fallen into.[/i] [i]The twenty-five foot tall monstrosity of metal rose as dust fell from it's jagged body, letting out a roar of murderous intention as a deep blue shield covered it's body. It's hulking body consisted of titanium and magnesium, as it began to tear it's way throughout the city of Dojoville. The members of the Dojo had to react, and quickly - before the Titan and it's forces tore through everything in their wake.[/i] ((All three are open, but please mention which post you will reply to.)) ((The power of these characters/enemies will match your character's power - however, they will be powerful compared to yours no matter what. This isn't a plot that you can just tear your way through like some goddamn Dark Souls game, hue hue.))
