Powers rise

for even now a darkness howls behind closed door, to taste the final blood in seven thousand years of war...
A curse is upon this land boy, on every city there is in this wretched world of ours, that curse makes people just keep relieving war, and their darkest fears over and over, like a big cycle, never ending, one long spiral of horror...the people here are cursed with long life, they can be slain, but they will return to relive their own death again and again...you can't escape it boy"
Arca suddely realises something, "The city of three moons, that city fell decades ago, does this mean...."
The man smiles showing yellow teeth, "Yes, boy...you've already died more than once..."
Arca feels a cold blade pierce straight through his throat, and warm blood trickle down his neck, soaking his shirt collar
The man shrouded in shadow draws his blade from Arca's throat letting him drop to the floor, "You'll suffer less, if you stay dead this time boy"
Arca coughs, and struggles for breath, "Who are you, and what are you??"
The man chuckles, "I am the beasts servant, I made a deal long ago, before he was sealed away, I am called by many, 'The claws of the beast', and yes...I'm not human...far from it, actually, I was human once, but now I'm just searching for the other half of something"
The man suddenly dissolves into shadow, leaving no trace
Arca lies quite still, his blood creating a neat pool on the floor, "How many times have I died already, why can't I remember?"
Krieg hears noises coming from the corridor
***
summary:
Arca discovers he has died more than once
A curse is on the many cities (Ashton, City of Bones, EdgaGate, Charn and Ink Heart), one that makes people live for a long time, but when slain, they get caught in a cycle of repeating their death over and over (their darkest fears)
Arca recieves a sword through the throat, and is close to death...trying to understand the cycle of horror he is on, wondering how many times he's died already, and why he can't remember any of them
Krieg hears noises coming from the corridor

As Krieg stands, awakened by the noises, his body's genetic material creates in his right hand a scimitar ninja sword that is the length of a longsword. By the time the creation of the blade is complete, Krieg holsters it with the blade pointed up into the backside of his left forearm, with the blade sticking out of his elbow.
Krieg, still wearing his cloak and cowl over his head, enters the corridor to investigate.
As his left forearm covers the rest of the blade except for the long piece sticking out of his left elbow, Krieg hears the heartbeats of everyone in the inn, but detects Arca's with ease, due to his heart rate from being attacked via neck wound. Kreig slowly and cautiously goes towards the scent of Arca's blood and follows the sounds of Arca's heartbeats, but uses its sense of sight just as well.
***
The sword:

Arca hears the floor boards creak, but doesn't move...instead he concentrates on trying to breathe, a task which is becoming harder and harder
Arca winces as he moves his right hand to clasp his neck gently, in an attempt to stop the bleeding....the attempt doesn't help much
Arca knows someone else is in the corridor

Krieg stands on the roof just above Arca. The only thing he can see is his blood vein system and his heart dimming in brightness when he crouches next to Arca.
Krieg opens his left hand that is clenched, and a big and ugly millipede emerges from his body. He moves Arca's hand from his neck and he millipede lunches itself stops of the wound.
Arca hears A voice that is not his own within his head, but of Krieg... Who Arca only knows as a cloaked and hooded figure. "From where I come from, these creatures heal my people's wounds. Don't remove it, or you'll die. Trust me, it's better then dying here, on the floors of someone's dwelling!" As the voice says this, Arca feels his neck healing and his blood returning to him through the millipede. A glowing aura can be seen around Arca's wound.
Krieg sits against the wall, monitoring the healer's progress and making sure nothing halts the process.
***
Krieg appears sitting next to Arca.
He moves Arca's right hand and places a healer millipede (from ultimate Mortis) over Arc's wound.
Th voice in Krieg's head speaks to Arca in his mind and tells him to lie still and to not interrupt the millipede from doing its job: to heal the wounds of whom need healing. In other words, to heal Arca's neck wound.
As it heals Arca, Krieg plays bodyguard and monitors the millipede's progress.

War breaks out in Ashton and EdgeGate, and not petty war, ferocious war....were you must value you're own life over another's to just survive
An Army of enemies march towards Ember and will arrive there in three days
What the man shrouded in shadow, told Arca was correct this War may last for thousands of years...or rather it already has...

Kaythis watches the man shrouded in shadow stab Arca. She murmurs
"couldn't have done it better myself"
Kaythis moves off to follow the man.
When she is standing beside him, she lashes out, slashing her claws across his chest.
"That wound will kill you - permanently - unless I stop it. And I will stop it when you do what I want"
The man feels his life force drain.

"commander! we are detecting a large force heading our way. it may be headed towards Ember, but it is bound to meet us on the way."
"how far?" Josh demands
"two days, and one more to reach Ember"
Josh calms a little "ok, so we still have time. Send Garrak with Jaheria, my orders are: do your best to make sure we dont get caught up in this war. (the Titan is already bad enough)"
"Yes sir!"

in a couple of hours Garrak flies out in Jaheria's cruiser with a small escort, heading towards the army. they should reach the army in a few hours.

Ember soldiers assemble, and quickly head out to meet the soldiers, they are calculated to meet them, roughly near the city of EdgeGate, depending on the timing of the two armies

**
The Man looks up at Kaythis, "I understand, what is it that you wish me to do?"

**
Arca remains still, wondering who this person (Krieg) is, "Thankyou...But I fear, I've lost too much blood, it isn't the first time that man has kil..."
Arca trails off, thinking that perhaps he shouldn't mention the fact that he's died more than once before, "....he'll be back"
Arca coughs up blood and winces as his wounded neck knits itself slowly back together
Arca looks at the person (Krieg) through his still blurry vision, "Who are you and what are you?"

Krieg looks at Arca and tilts his head. the voice speaks in Arca's mind. "Me? well, I'm the other side of the creature before you. But what you think it is, is up to you to decide. As for his name... his name is Kreig--meaning "war"."
Krieg move his cowl off his head, revealing his face, horn and appearance.

Arca looks at Krieg, still a little puzzled
Del suddenly appears in the corridor, teeth bared at Krieg, "What have you done to Arca....speak quickly I am not one to have much patience"
Arca looks at Del, "Del he's helping me, another man tried to kill me"
Del looks unconvinced, "Kill you...why didn't you whistle...I would have torn him apart limb from limb"
Arca lowers his head shamefully, "I didn't want to put you in danger....he was not human, so I feared he'd kill you too....and I'm sure he'll be back"
Del nods, "Indeed"

Krieg stands up and the voice telepathically communicates to both Arca and Del. "Well, it appears that the procedure is done." The millipede removes itself from arca's neck, where there is no wound no longer, but a scar and blood stains. the millipede crawls up the wall and latches itself back onto Krieg's body and enters it.
Krieg goes out back to get fresh air.

Del goes over to Arca, "It'll be a permanent scar, but at least you're alive"
Arca looks determined, "Come on Del, we need to move from this place, that man could come back, once he realises that I'm not dead"

***
The man Shrouded in black senses the fact that Arca isn't dead, and finds this puzzling and whispers quietly, "The boy got away did he?...I should have made sure he was good and dead before I left"

Kaythis sighs.
"You mean you didn't even kill the boy? You're more incompetent than I thought."
"I want to know where I can find the beast. You're going to lead me to him. I'll give you 3 hours before the wound will kill you"
The life drain slows a little.

The man nods, "Very well....I'll take you, but why do you want to find the beast?....an old grudge perhaps?......and as for the boy I'll kill him later, seems to me like he had help, from someone....just lucky this time I guess...next time I'll make sure he's alone, and I'll wait until his dead....now follow me, three hours isn't long"
Kaythis finds something unsettling about this man, she can't tell what it is, but it is almost like the beast already knows she is coming/searching for him

On the roof of the inn, there are a lot of dead people. The current weather is Rain and is pouring down heavily, creating a massive pool of blood wherever you step.
At the epicenter stands Krieg, stabbed in the back with many swords, arrows and is covered with wounds. Clearly, if one were to speculate, a scouting party/recon unit, belonging to the army heading towards ember--infiltrated Ember and Krieg killed them and dumped the bodies of both dead and alive on the rooftops, mainly the roof of the shattered circle inn.
A survivor, horrified by what he/she saw, stutter aloud to the monster in a cloak/w cowl. "Who and the heck are you? You some kind of freak or demon?" Krieg looks at the survivor and slowly moves towards him/her and removes one of the weapons in his body, and develops a pair of eyes that aren't human (as in, eye sockets... Sort of-- for advanced armor that glow--conveying that he can see.) and speaks aloud. "I'VE LOST BLOOD! So give me yours... SO ICAN MAKE YOU A HUMAN RUG OUTTA YOUR CORPSE AND BATHE IN YOU AND YOUR FRIEND'S BLOOD, SUCKA!!" Krieg then squishes the survivor's head with his bare right hand and holds the survivor with his left. As he tosses the headless corpse away,'the swords and weapons stabbed into his body launch out as his regeneration factor (which one obviously needs of Thier called Krieg! Which means WAR.) and the wounds, both madeby bullets and all, close up.
Krieg turns around as he feels that is watching him.
***
That entire post was about why I gave my finalized and fully developed character he name Krieg and that He has developed "eye sockets" and is now capable of been a human being! That means he can talk and understand and has control of his bloodthirsty "needs" and use his telepathy like a normal non-human.
Oh yeah... THIS JUST GOT REAL!! OH, SNAP! (And yes. I overdid it with the goriness in speech.)
KYOKUTAN!!

Kaythis smiles.
"Three hours isn't long? Then I guess you'd better hurry"
Kaythis keeps her claws drawn and her hand on Muramasa.
She prepares herself for her probable death.

(they don't call them "Deathseekers" for nothing...)

The Man Shrouded in shadow smiles, "No it isn't long....but long enough for me...I know where I need to go, to find the beast, do you mean to kill it, or are you just suicidal and wanting to die?"
The Man's eyes flash red suddenly but subdue, "Because the beast isn't very understanding when it comes to showing mercy in a fight....but in a way you've kind of already won"
Kaythis is puzzled slightly by those last words, 'already won'

The army from Ember marches steadily on, set to meet the Charn soldiers soon, but the Ember army is nervous
Anglachel senses both armies approaching, and recognises that they're going to meet at the Titan, "I better warn someone"
Anglachel heads off to find someone to inform, that two armies are approaching and the Titan looks like it is going to be caught in the crossfire
The Army from Charn comes across the Titan first, and decide that it may serve useful in this war, and are about to storm the ship and claim it as there own (at least try to).....but then the soldiers from Ember arrive
A savage fight begins between the Charn and Ember armies, which ends up getting some of the Titan's men involved, and the Titan is literally within the line of fire from both Armies

As the fight goes on, those in battle feel as if they are being [b]pulled[b] into the ground--like it is if gravity is been manipulated and people are been buried alive.
Some turn on their allies, thinking they are enemy. Others notice a teleporting freak of nature killing people by the dozens--regardless of alignment.
3 Forgotten ones reveal themselves on top of the Titan: Graviton, Loki and Wraith. All 3 intend on killing everyone in the battle except for themselves.
Krieg's horn heatens up and his bloodlustful nature takes control. He speaks. "3 are near. Time to go hunting!"
Krieg heads for the titan to kill 3 of his brethren. He arrives moments later via a stolen high-speed vehicle.

The armies fight on, with many casualties from both sides (Charn and Ember)
Anglachel senses the strange presence of the three beings
One of the beings (Wraith) receives a large cut straight down his back
He turns to find a young girl standing there, two daggers drawn, one showing evidence of just giving him the cut
Anglachel's eyes are glowing threateningly, "What business do you three have here, speak....and quickly"
The three can sense a deep darkness in Anglachel's stare, great power stirs behind those eyes, power that is not human
The air stiffens as Anglachel waits for an answer

Cruisers and fighters fly around the place, some of the cruisers fly past some of the equipment owned by the ISA, and it literally flies into the air, and latches onto the side of these strange cruisers. although alot of the equipment gets damaged.
"THIS IS MAYHEM! neither side has asked for my help, and they are just putting us in the cross fire! Eagle, give us power now, we are leaving!" there is a loud rumble, and the giant thrusers underneath the Titan splutter, and come to life. they occasionally cut out, but very slowly the Titan rises.
"can we get into space?"
"No commander, but we can move away from the field!"
"do it! where is Garrak?!"
over the comms, Garrak's static voice can be heard "here commander. but i would observe that we wont be much use in this battle. the army didnt take too kindly to our approach, the scout eyes has taken a beating."
as this all takes place, people on the ground continue attacking the Titan, and causing damage. Josh Furiously yells "get fighters in the air NOW! attack any target damaging the Rogue!"
Immediatly a plague of Fighters burst forth from the launch tubes at the back of the Titan. and a couple seconds later, and Fighters already in the air start shooting any groups causeing considerable damage to the Titan.

Gradually the Titan starts hovering across the battle, moving closer to Edge Gate. the whole field warms up greatly, making it harder to fight.

Loki speaks. "Well... since my brother and sister are mutes, I'll tell you: its OBVIOUS!" Loki turns around. "My people... my family is only got one purpose: kill and use our powers to survive! Plus, been called Loki, I figured "its time to have some fun!"."
Anglachel naturally realizes that there is a strangely organic blade at her throat and the back of her neck--held by Wraith, in a form of smoke. "Wraith--"
Krieg appears and speaks. "Its been awhile since I saw "family"!" Loki, Wraith and Graviton turn to their right and see Krieg. Wraith removes the blades from Anglachel and Graviton uses gravity against Anglachel, pinging her and any other copies of er in case of illusions.
Loki speaks. "So... the man responsible for our family's freedom has returned. I assume your here to just outright get involved in the violence! then again... your name means war!Loki, Wraith and Graviton engage Krieg in an epicly brutal battle in a different location...away from the mortals.

Anglachel manipulates gravity, and frees herself, then realises that the Titan is taking off, or moving....and she is on top of it
Anglachel teleports herself to the ground, only to be met with blades swinging wildly and bullets flying
Anglachel sighs, "This should be fun"
Anglachel engages some of Charn's soldiers in combat, with her daggers and quickly gains the upper hand, without much effort needed

the Titan heaves away from the battle, it's thrusters spluttering, as it slowly starts going down. "Garrak, can you go into Edge Gate, tell them we will help in the war if they help defend our Titan now!"
"yes sir" Scouts Eyes flies past the Titan towards Edge Gate, and a few more cruisers and fighter join it. a loud whirring builds up inside the Titan, and a loud hiss like water being poured onto a hundred fires erupts. the Thrusters quikly die, and the Titan sets down on the ground. at least not as violently as last time. it's now on the outskirts of Edge gate, just out of the way of the battle, but still within reach. either of the armies could easily turn and start attacking the Titan.
all the fighters and cruisers remain in the air, ready to stop anyone who considers attack the Titan.

Shadow wolves appear suddenly, causing havoc and fear within both armies
Anglachel looking calm, begins slaying the wolves that come at her
Some of the wolves decide to attack the Titan and head for it at a fast rate
Anglachel at a spare moment teleports into EdgeGate and requests that their army help protect the Titan
The EdgeGate soldiers gather, a strong force
They intercept the Shadow Wolves, slaying them and begin protecting the Titan
