Powers rise

(this happens while Rhy'dor is threatening Krodrus)

Krodrus laughs in Rhy'dor's face.
"It's impossible to fathom how wrong you are! This concerns my people immensely. It is my duty to protect the world. And I will disrespect you as much as I want. Your ignorance proves your folly. You have nothing on me"
Krodrus' body dissolves.

The armies fight in silence.
A hole appears in the world.
The hole grows to a tear.
The tear weaves it's way around the world, with lightning speed.
The tear closes.
Rhy'dor's army is swallowed into the void.
But still, Krodrus is nowhere around.

Rhye'Dor visits the grave of his wife and child: in a small graveyard inside a normal room in the sanctum. As he places his right hand on it, his right eye sheds a tear of blood. He remembers how he became what he was: by entering the castle's sanctum, he sealed his fate.
A thousand years ago, a young and powerful holy warrior named Rhye'Dor Kra'Arhn, who had a wife and an infant son, seemed of a demon living in he castle he now controls: the demon Dracula vampire known as the desert demon of treachery and darkness. He defeated the demon's army, and entered the Sanctum, where the demon lied in wait. The demon rose from his throne and spoke. "Holy warrior: does thee have a title to which I will carve into your coffin when you die?"
Rhye'Dor responds by stating his name and intention to slay the demon. The demon speaks. "Then they have betrayed you!"

After a fierce battle that followed, the demon lied on the ground. As Rhye'Dor went for the Coup de' grat, he swaped places with Rhye'Dor's wife and child. In the end. Rhye'Dor was tricked into killing his own family. The demon appeared after the deed was done and laughed. In regret and rage, he took the demon's sword and pierced its heart. In its final moments, he forced Rhye'Dor to drink his blood. This caused him to become the new Dracula vampire known as the dragon and as the Dracula of the desert. Gaining immunity due to the sun's rays, Rhye'Dor placed Thier corpses in the same coffin in the bedroom of the sanctum. As he entered the throne room, the entire population of the city-sized tainted and twisted castle ceased to exist. An old wizard and the holy order of knights and magical humanoids he was apart of appeared and sealed Rhye'Dor Kra'Arhn away for the framed murder of his family and for betraying his holy order and mission and for betraying God... And as punishment for taking the demon's place. Betrayed by his own former race and abandoned by the gods at a cost of victory, Rhye'Dor vowed vengeance against humanity and that he will return.
For a thousand years, he was trapped in a mystic prison that was a dimension linked to the castle. The magics there have him have him become stronger in both light and dark magic, where he obtained his "void" sword and other powers that made him a God among demons.
1 thousand years later, the seal broke when the wolf touched the pedestal and died in the phenomena.

After reliving his past in his mind, Rhye'Dor tosses the coffin out of the sanctum and has it destroyed with his wife and child's corpses burned to ashes inside of it by his wolves. As the wolves carry their orders out, he watches them do this... with no regrets, he walks and returns to his throne.

Krodrus watches as the shades of the Black Watch destroy the disorientated army.
A Deathseeker strides up to Krodrus.
Krodrus acknowledges her.
"My Deathseeker, who are you?"
The Deathseeker smiles.
"I'm Kaythis. And I'm your replacement"
Kaythis draws her Muramasa and long blades appear out of her left hand.
Krodrus draws Muramasa.
"Why? Is this an order?"
"We are on a schedule, Krodrus. You petty scruples are holding us back. You have proved yourself an inadequate bearer of the Voidthirster. I'm here to take it"
"Over my dead body"
"That's the plan"

Summary: Krodrus finds his superiors have been less than pleased with his performance.

Rhye'Dor walks within the halls of his castle when he hears strange noises coming from nearby. He looks through a window conveniently there and spots something disturbing. He sees humanoid creatures with claw-like finger tips, body building muscle mass and are over 8 ft. tall. All of them are distinctively a greyish white with a red marking on their face resembling a tiger claw scar. more are found the rest of their body. they are wearing nothing but worn, saggy homeless pants and thier faces... ripped off. Rhye'Dor speaks. "And here i thought i'd never see a Blood-Rager again."
A blood-Rager spots Rhye'Dor and roars out of rage, as it smells blood. It grows in bulk and grows 2 ft. taller, making it 10-12 ft. tall and jumps towards Rhye'Dor. As it clinghs to the outer wall and looks at Rhye'Dor, it attampts to kill Rhye'Dor, but he stabs his sword into its chest. It barely does much to the hulk-like behemoth, but its body becomes drained. The blade shoots at an energy bolt, making it launch off and explode when it lands on the ground, nearly killing it. It gets back up and slowly heals from its blood-lust.
The others spot Rhye'Dor as well, and enter the same state as the one that is. Rhye'Dor is forced to fight them and stands in the open battle grounds of the castle fighting some of the types of monsters the prison "Ultima Mortis" created.
But in order to fight them, he must use his "chaos" magic weapon: a pair of claws capable of breaking the block of the strongest of defensive types of enemies--however, the pair of claws made of his actual life essence.
***
Rhye'Dor encounters a pack of Blood-Ragers: a type of demon creature from Ultima Mortis.

Garrak meets with Edge gate's authority, at first they are a little hesitant. but with some help from Anglachel, they gain trust with the ambassador, and agree to provide some resources. The Reliant soon moves over to the appropriate part of the city, and begins collecting the resources. the next day the Reliant and it's escort return to the Rogue, and add hand over the resources to repair the rest of the Titan.

Josh stands in the bridge of the Rogue and ponders. he wont be going home any time soon. and they are going to get caught up in a war before they finish the repairs.

At that point of time, Rhye'Dor was somehow defeated by two surviving members of a 10-man blood-Rager pack. A portal on of the walls appears and as the one carrying an unconscious Rhye'Dor into where the other is, his bodyguard, Shai'Ra, uses her guns to her advantage an kills the other one with 12'roujdsntomthebhead. She fails to run after them as the portal closes. Shai'Ra is he. Forced by a group of warrior soldiers of an unknown organization to join them,nafter learning who Rhye'Dor really was.
Moments later, Rhye'Dor wakes up in a cell, a rarity in where he is, and realizes that he is in Ultimate Mortis once more, and notices that his body is beginning to change into a Forgotten one.
Rhye'Dor falls asleep as he hears a voice in his head tell him to just take a nap.

Rose finds herself in Ink Heart
Rose senses someone watching her

The figure wonders about Rose and speaks to someone behind him, "What do you think Del, you think she is the person we need?....well....I guess I don't have much time, besides a life is at stake here, your own Del, I can't have you dying on me, and I'm not very skilled in healing arrow wounds, and until I can find a healer, we're as good as dead being stuck here in Ink heart...."
A grunt of agreement is heard from behind the figure, "Whatever you say boy, just get this arrow wound healed, it stings like crazy"
The boy nods, "Don't worry Del, I'll take care of this"

the doors open to the all familiar engine room. a warmth fills the elevator as Josh steps out with his gaurds. Edwin approaches him with a tablet in his hand.
"when will she be running again?"
"(good to see you too)" Edwins accent is a strong russian "i have a theory captain to get her working..." he then begins explaining some sciency complicated thing, Josh follows roughly, but it all flies over the gaurd's heads. "... we could be doing this forever, or we could have it up within a week. its only a theory"
"alright, get started on it. how did the engine go bust in the first place?"
"we believe it was a miscalculation, or maybe a factor wasnt taken into account. we shall never know, as it took five years with the 6 QCs, we shallnt be recalculating any time soon."
Josh nods and begins walking back into the elevator. "commander, what is my reward for this?"
Josh sighs slightly frustrated, "a week of unlimited access in the similate deck if you get it working." he then turns to his gaurds "and you guys get 3 days as well if you keep quiet. or 3 days in solitary confinment if you talk."
"permission to speak freely sir"
"granted"
"no need sir, we all hate how selfish he is sir" Josh scoffs a little, and smiles.
"if you were talking about anyone else on this ship i would have you in confinment" Josh laughs a little, the gaurds stiffen a little, but take on Josh's humour and smile.

Krodrus leans his weight into his attack.
Kaythis holds her ground.
Kaythis twists around Krodrus' Muramasa and buries her claws in his chest.
Krodrus falters.
His life drains to Kaythis.
Kaythis takes the Voidthirster.
"Anything I should know about the targets?"
"The girl... She is strong, and has friends. She uses tricks and safeguards. Do not take anything for granted. The Boy is powerful, but he lacks restraint. His pride is his downfall, but his strength keeps him safe. The others I never found"
Kaythis bows to Krodrus.
"Thank you"
The last of Krodrus' strength leaves him.
Kaythis leaves.

Summary: Kaythis defeats Krodrus

Rhye'dor awakens in the open, and as he looks at himself in this strange sense of vision, he questions what he is, how he got there and where he actually is. Rhye'Dor has been stripped of his memory.
He notices that he has a rhino's front horn, but it is "human-sized" and cut slightly to be flat but angled to point to the back corner of his scalp.
Rhye'Dor's voice in his head speaks to itself. "Woah... I look good! anyway, the only thing that i seem to know other than what I seem to look like is that the name those strange people gave me was "Krieg". Gets that's my name."
As he looks up and gets out of an alley way, he notices also that he isn't where he feels is home, as he finds himself in a "strange" place that the locals call Ink Heart. He puts on a ragged and partially torn cloak, covers his head with its cowl and spots a little girl (rose).
Rhye'Dor's voice in his head speaks to itself. "Okay... That little girl seems reasonable to try and communicate with? but how do I do that? what do they speak? how do they speak? darn, these fleshy things are so confusing. and this place gives me so many questions that need many more answers! it appear that she is the only person that might try to not bring me harm. I shall follow her and make sure that I can be at a place to communicate with her that won't draw attention to myself! don't want something to happen that will be me to blame for, after all..." The voice in Krieg's head tells it to follow the girl, which it does so.
***
Rhye'Dor awakens, now a forgotten one, and with a given name which is Krieg. (thats what you'll be calling it for now on when it reveals its name to you story-wise.)
***
3D look of what Krieg would look like (not: the color would be more black than silver/white to give him a mroe darker and more crazed side visually.):


This is what Krieg looks like without the horn--just above the centre of what appears to be an optic eye:

Rose looks around Ink Heart
Suddenly someone grabs Rose from behind, clamping a hand over her mouth to stop her screaming
Rise looks frightened and turns her head slightly to see who her captor is
The boy who grabbed Rose gestures for her to be quiet
Rose studies the boy's face, she sees no immediate danger, but notices that the boy isn't from Ink Heart
The boy whispers, "I just need your help, a friend of mine is injured quite badly and I'm not very skilled in healing, I mean you no harm"
The boy removes his hand from Rose's mouth cautiously, hoping she doesn't scream and attract attention
Rose sees that the boy is about Aerrow's age, "Is your friend injured?...take me to them I will see what I can do"
The boy looks relieved and quickly leads the way
Del hears someone coming, "Can she help me, boy??"
The boy smiles, "She will do what she can Del"
Rose looks puzzled, "Del??"
The boy nods, "Short for Delfindor"
Rose stops suddenly, "I don't sense another human presence, what are you Del?"
Del speaks his voice soft and deep, "You are correct child, I am not human"
Rose hears the clinking of chain mail as Del shifts, and catches a glimpse of Del's eyes, which are glazing golden
Rose stammers, "You're a gr..."
Del chuckles, "Yes, I am a gryhpon and the boy, Arca here is my rider"
Rose quickly hurries to heal Del's wound, "Aren't gryphon's extinct?"
Del smiles, "Not quite child, what is your name?"
Rose smiles back, "My name is Rose...I'm here looking for my brother but I think he has already headed back to Ember"
Arca senses something, "Rose, was someone following you?"
Rose wonders, "I didn't think so, I got the feeling of being watched,but I assumed that was you, why do you ask?"
Arca looks suspiciously into the near distance, "Just thought I saw something, never mind, it was probably nothing"

****
summary: Rose is kidnapped, to help heal a friend, she meets Delfindor 'Del' a gryphon and his rider a boy named Arca (who is about Aerrow's age), Rose heals Del, and introduces herself, Arca then becomes suspicious about the possibility of someone else following Rose that wasn't him, but he brushes the suspicion aside, for now...
Delfindor:

A quiet, Inkheart alley suddenly gets much quieter.
Kaythis steps through the portal she created and closes it behind her.
She breathes deeply air for the first time.
Then she sets off on the scent of her target.

Rose finishes healing Del, but warns him that he shouldn't be flying anytime soon
Del thanks her
Arca senses something, "Perhaps we should get out of Ink Heart now, you too Rose"
Rose nods, "There is a back way, follow me, we'll head to Ember, there isn't any War there...at least not for the moment"
Del, Arca and Rose hurry off, and surprisingly manage to make it to the back gate without being spotted
Rose indicates that Del and Arca go through the gate
Rose takes one more looks around and then goes towards the gate to follow the other two
Rose suddenly senses someone close behind her

A raid on EdgeGate occurs
many strong men rush into the city, causing disruption and mayhem, looting and kidnapping
some men are even bold enough to attack the Titan
there force is quite surprising and they do some damage...but not much

the force that attacks the Titan is offered a chance to halt their attack, but they seal their fate with death. the damage is negligable.
a detachment of alpha fighters take off and pursue the other raiders in the city, and any outside. but are carful when firing in the city so as not to hit civilians.

Anglachel joins the fight and quickly rounds up the civilians
Anglachel leads them to safety in a place nearby
Anglachel waits

Krieg, having previously learned how to move like a ninja naturally from observing his surroundings, perches itself atop the gate pillars. The voice in its head speaks. "Okay... Our cover... Whatever that is, is probably--well, we more get spotted. Which means the fleshy rings are onto us. More importantly..." Krieg eyes the griffon del. "what is this "Griffin"? so many questions need to be answered about everything... But the little one won't have all the answers, but has most. She may be one the only people who can willingly and believe."
Krieg continues to follow Rose and her 2 new friends, but remains cautious and on guard... As he has smelt a presence with a killing intent on either him, or someone similar... Or is just hunting someone nearby. Either way, it remains cautious Anton high alert in case of confrontation.

Rose, Arca and Del hurry away to Ember, and reach it safely
Arca gets the sense of being followed
Del growls as he senses it too, "we better keep moving and quickly"
Rose, Arca and Del reach Ember
Rose leads them to The Shattered Circle Inn

Kaythis attempts to look inconspicuous as she follows rose.
However Deathseekers aren't made for stealth.
She doesn't even know she's been spotted.

Krieg, having sprinted from Ink heart to Ember in a running stance similar to a rhino charging, arrives In Ember, and his horn smoking and scorching with heat and energy. Krieg is calmed by the voice in his head, sue to been angered by the journey and its horn cools down.
Krieg continues to Follow Rose, Arca and Del to the shattered circle inn... with extreme caution and stealthiness.
***(UPDATE)***
The voice in Krieg's head talks to itself. "It appears that the horn is more valuable than I thought... is it meant to have a purpose? Maybe it does, but maybe it does not! what if its meant to take or give. But what if it was for something... more then what it appears to be? what if this part of myself... is whom I am!? I may be the only one who can answer that question. But I don't know the answer yet! But right now, We need to learn what we can about what we to finish what we're up to..." Krieg begins hearing the thoughts of the people around it. the voice in its head has an epiphany. "And I figured out just how to communicate with the little fleshy thing!"
Krieg nods silently in movement and continues to follow Rose and her 2 friends.

The voice in Krieg's head reads the minds of the soldiers, warriors, civilians, etc. and learns how to fight, climb, use his abilities strategically, etc. As a result, Krieg gets a headache. The voice in Krieg's head however, discovers that its also a telepathic, meaning that he voice can communicate telepathically to others.
The voice tells Krieg to go to the shattered circle inn and rest on a round table in the centre of the bar. It goes in a runinng manner, running past Rose and her 2 friends at a fast rate of speed, and dodging the "obstacles" in front of itself.
Krieg enters the Inn and might've broken something... Because it charged through the wall like a giant, armored beast and sits on top a table like its a chair. The voice talks to itself. "That's... Close enough!? At least our cloak and cowl isn't damaged or gone. It's good enough for me, anyway. How will this get any worded than you've made it!"

Rose,Arca and Del arrive at The Shattered Circle Inn
Astra was collecting some water from the well out the front, she greets Rose and her new friends
Rose shows Del and Arca around the back way, where there is a place to rest and stay
Arca and Del take a long deserved rest
Rose heads into The Shattred Circle Inn's bar
Rose looks around, as usual there aren't too many people here
Astra comes back in with the water and begins to wash the beer glasses

Krieg stands up and looks to the one of the rooms, he enters to see someone in there, and throws the person out after knocking the person out with a piece of the rubble of whats left of one of the walls. Krieg claims temporary 'ownership" of the room, and trashes the room to make it more comfortable to sleep on the ground... which it does afterwards before closing the door violently. The voice in Krieg's sighs but goes along with what Krieg was going for.
***
Whilst Krieg is asleep, his body generates tribal tattoos on his back and shoulders above the upper arms and his horn grows fully in space to cover and remove the optic eye-like centre of Krieg's "face". his muscle mass grows to make him look like he a human tank of muscle.
***
Back tattoo:


both Shoulders tattoo:


(note: they glow in a red/black aura and can be seen through his cloak and Cowl.)

(sorry for the long post/ double post guys)

Arca hears something and heads towards the noise....Del stirs, "What is it boy?"
Arca looks at Del, "Not sure, but you stay here, I'll whistle if I need you"....Del nods, and rests his head back down on the floor
Arca creeps down the corridor, suddenly he senses someone behind him, "Del I told you to stay back in the room"
A voice chuckles from behind Arca, "I'm not your gryphon boy, instead you might call me you're darkest fear, survivors of the city of three moons often do"
Arca looks uncertain, "What are you talking about, all the people from that city perished long ago"
The man chuckles, "Not quite all of them, you're golden eyes prove that boy"
(continues....)
