[b][i][u]The Shadow of Eternity[/u][/i][/b]
[url=http://example.com]Broken Fortress, Kudo Ro Mountain Range[/url]
Aeron Tenebrae sat upon a cold stone throne, alone in an empty place filled with death and despair. The walls were ruined and the floor was cracked, with no sign of the once seen luxury that this place had held. There used to be feasts, armies, royalty. But now there were only sparse skeletons and lost souls that waited patiently to die.
Light snow fell gently through the gaps in the ceiling, accompanied by the eire gray light of the sky. The world had been bleak lately, perhaps reacting to his arrival in such a way as to cause unease in a normal man. Or maybe it was just this castle? He couldn't tell anymore. It all sort of blended together in a way.
A few minutes past as he sat there, motionless and subsumed in his own thoughts. He had seen things recently that had caught his eye, knowing what threat they might pose if left... unmonitored. As such, he had decided that today was the day he began his work in the arts of this planet's downfall.
[i]With the foolish games of men come misery, and only in their destruction shall the universe be free...[/i]
The man stood, gazing out the holes in the wall and into the horizon. It had been interesting to experience what this world had to offer, and how it's people would react to certain variables. All of it was surprising similar sadly. But then again, there were certain minds that blazed as beacons of power and change, minds that has potential to achieve great things. They would either emerge to be challenging opponents, or great champions of the eternal void
And so, he called out to them. He had sent a number of agents to recruit, which had infiltrated the ranks of practically every force on Tatakai. It was time to see what surprises they would hold...
[spoiler]Open! Overpowered characters are welcome! Anyone who wants to destroy Tatakai, wants to experience some weird shit, or just likes the occasional boss fight, this post is for you. No armies allowed. Individual appearances are ideal but small groups will work too...[/spoiler]
[spoiler]And if anyone wants to set up a plot thing, feel free to join as well.[/spoiler]

"Aeron Tenebrae, that's it!" Aeron would hear a shout of his name, the clatter of swords, and a red, glowing spike through the gate before Korsis would walk into his "throne room". "I knew I knew your name. Your guards tried to kill me, you know."
-
"Really? How... peculiar of them. What brings you here on this bleak evening?" [b]Aeron sat on the stone throne, wearing an ancient silver crown. He basically did that just because he felt like it, with no real reason behind it[/b]
-
"Business, with you. Let's get straight to the point." Korsis would pull out a holographic display of Tatakai, possible positions for troop deployment already marked. "How big is your army, Aeron?"
-
[b]He smiled, inspecting the hologram for a moment before looking at Korsis with those orange eyes of his[/b] [i]If you even think of betraying me...[/i] [b]Aeron simply gazed out onto the horizon and then turned back to face the sith. He chuckled at his question, but then answered...[/b] "My forces are far beyond the foolish mockery I've shown thus far. The Imperial Remnants, the Dojo, even you, are nothing in comparison. Tatakai would fall in hours and most everyone would be dead. The Black Sun will take care of the remnants."
-
"Do not think yourself so powerful. My army numbers in the millions, and I have been defeated several times."

[spoiler]I edited my reply and now it's better[/spoiler]

Edited by Wheatley: 10/23/2017 7:14:15 PM"You assume we are mortal. No. I've been doing this for eons, Korsis. You have no idea what we truly are..." [b]He looked around him[/b] "Come. It is time for me to show you that we have already won, and who I truly am." [b]He gestured, sending mysterious energy into the air. In front of him opened a tear in space and time that would allow him to go to a very... different place. It was a portal to another world, similar yet so different than the one they were in now[/b]
-
"I hate these weird-ass portals, Aeron, you should know that." He stepped through the portal and into Aeron's... realm? I dunno.
-
Edited by Wheatley: 10/24/2017 9:13:10 PM[b]It wasn't Aeron's, at least not of his creation. They were in the fortress, the structures fully repaired and the area stocked with state of the art equipment as well as troops. Oddly enough, the place had become a fully-fledged base of operation. And, to Aeron's taste, held an almost royal quality...[/b] "Ah. Here we go. Now, follow me. I will show you that my victory is inevitable." [b]He walked outside, in which Korsis would have followed. The main doors opened, and they walked out into orange, ash-filled sky. Tatakai was dying. The Dojo was ruins and the landscape burned and marred by warfare. And far above it all lied it's shattered moon, and with it, a principle superweapon: [url=https://imgur.com/aynrFna.jpg]The Black Sun[/url][/b] [spoiler]Yes, Tatakai does have a moon. And no, I am not plagiarizing with that pic. It was the closest thing I could find. The idea for this came well before that... Plus the "eye" on mine is bigger[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Ok.[/spoiler]
-
[i]A small note flutters to the ground, softly landing in the snow.[/i]
-
[b]There were two sentries stationed at the entrance, basically just to greet anyone who came near. One went over to it, picked it up, and started reading...[/b]
-
[b]To those concerned, Heads up.[/b] [i]As the poor fools who fell for the obvious trap obeyed the command, an immense hammer slammed them both to paste against the thin layer of permafrost covering the ground.[/i] "It appears guard standards have lowered since I have left." [i]A figure covered by a red robe picks up the hammer by the handle with ease and flips it, only for it to vanish at the top of the arc. The figure pushes the door open, then continues inside.[/i]

Edited by Wheatley: 10/22/2017 1:55:31 AM[b]They would enter a ruined foyer, light snow falling gently through the holes in the ceiling. All that remained of what the place once was were skeletons and cobwebs. Even they, as time changed and shifted, had begun to fade away[/b] "One who walks into to darkness willingly emerges on the other side as not a person, but a god. Welcome" [b]A man, his face hidden by a slight overcast shadow, stood at the end of the foyer and in front of the entrance to the rest of the building. He had a slight British accent to him, possibly because he just thought it fitting to his taste as a person. Who knows? Whatever this was going to turn out to be, it was going to be strange indeed...[/b]
-
"But what does a god become, then? Something more? Or perhaps something else?" [i]The hood was pulled down and two pale orbs framed by a fanged smirk observed the man at the end of the foyer.[/i]
-
"A god... well... a god becomes a constant. And a constant, my friend, becomes unbound." [b]He gestured to the place around him, at the ruin. It was as if he saw something else in it. It was as if the world held a lot more than anyone else thought it did... It held something new... The figure began to open a hole in the air, a tear in space and time. It radiated outwards, turning everything gray in the process. Then everything changed. The place was, colorful for once. It was no longer in ruins, it seemed. This was what it looked like before. But how did he get here?[/b]
-
"And when a constant becomes a [Concept], they go beyond understanding." [i]Shadow chuckles, looking around at the changes to the old building.[/i] "Time manipulation or reality warping? Or perhaps an alteration of the senses, a change in what is perceived by the world?"
-
[b]There was no answer. The figure was gone. All that remained was the sounds of the activity of other people. Shadow wouldn't know when he was, only that it was different[/b]
-
Edited by TwiggierTiger22: 10/22/2017 3:10:23 AM"A shame. He could have been interesting." [i]A negligent flick of her hand closed the leftover remnants of the rip in time/space, ensuring the barrier of the between was still there.[/i] "Now if only they would make my job easier and clean up their messes." [i]She turned to head back outside only to vanish into a shadow of an overhead beam.[/i]
-
[i]Come back to me, Shadow. I have a gift for you...[/i] [b]The place shifted again, as if it was independent of time. Red sky and strange machinery were all that were here now. Along with it, the figure Shadow had seen before held out his hand and drew her back. He was pulling on her essence, her literal existence as a free flowing concept. He was forcing her into physical form...[/b]
-
[i]She returned, unamused.[/i] "You call upon something beyond yourself. Tread carefully."
-
"Beyond myself? Is that what you'd think yourself to be? Do you even know who I am or what I'm wanting to do? My ambitions far exceed this place." [b]He smiled wickedly[/b] "You know? You truly are a wonder. What happens when I tamper with you?" [b]His hand held strange energy, it hurt the air and burned the sky. He looked to her, and laughed[/b] "How do you wish to proceed? Fighting, observing, or an more... less agreeable option?"
-
[i]Her head tilted then she smiled a small, sad smile.[/i] "Apathy. That is what I shall be." [i]She sighed.[/i] "If the Shining Darkness could not define me, then you will not shape me. A [concept] is not the pinnacle, but it is beyond what you shall reach, child." [i]She was gone. The note never existed, the guards still lived. Only the man stood there, living his delusion.[/i] [spoiler]You cannot define what does not exist. You cannot comprehend the [Void], for even the [concept] of [nothing] exists, so it is flawed. Thus, what is not shall never be.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Ah. I like it. Clever storytelling. End I suppose?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Indeed.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Do try to keep your character alive. Ordering around beings that can consume universes with ease never ends well.[/spoiler]
