Age of Strife

Cythnar rounds the corner his two blades covered in blood, he takes one look at Daemon, "Nicely done there, you beat me to it, did the superior scream like a little coward?"
Kassern reaches the gate with Shard
Dryn quickly opens the gate
Kassern slips away out of it, carrying Shard
Viper follows Kassern, after signalling Cyth
Cythnar nods and quickly turns to Daemon, "Time for us both to make for the exit"

Cythnar swears, and catches Daemon before he hits the ground
Cythnar is quite strong and manages to hoist Daemon over his shoulder and carry him quickly to the gate
Dryn lets them through then scurries through after them, "Kassern, Viper and Shard passed the barrier and headed for the thick trees over there, it will prove good shelter if the guards decided to come looking for us"
Cythnar nods and quickly crosses the barrier, it feels strange to suddenly have your powers and magic back
Dryn crosses the barrier with Cythnar and Daemon, "Is Daemon hurt too badly?"
Cythnar grins, "I've had worst"

the ISA take away the cripple, and two other soldiers enter the room who have masks for air (these are the elite of the ISA) they see the man and aim their guns at him, but do not fire. "please identify yourself. this building is under quarantine by the ISA." one of them continues aiming, but also makes her way around to Aerrow

Kassern watches Daemon, he seem to be in a trance of some sort
Kassern looks concerned for Daemon, and walks over to him
Kassern hears Daemon repeat, "What am I...."
Kassern puts his hand on Daemon's shoulder, for the first time Daemon seems to look into Kassern's eyes, they are ice blue and powerful, but full of concern and deep sorrow, they break through the darkness within Daemon's mind and Kassern's voice echoes in Daemon's head, "I'll tell you who you are, you're Daemon, and you're one of us now, our thirteenth member, our friend...."

Kassern smiles, "She'll live, but she is in no fit state to move around much...but she'll be up and around in a few days time, all her injuries have been taken care of, how are your injuries going, better now that you're outside the barrier?"
Cythnar looks at Daemon, "A thirteenth member, are you sure the beast will be happy about that Kassern?"
Kassern sighs, "I know that the beast is the only one that can recruit members into our group, but until then, there is no harm in having a thirteenth member, besides...we share the same objective, the killing of the human race...."

Kassern nods, "I will remember our deal.....Calkara and the others are only a short distance from here, less than a day's walk"
Shard sees Daemon approaching and tries to get to her feet, it doesn't work, as well as she had hoped
Cythnar warns, "Shard!...if you want to break your ribs again, then by all means keep trying to stand up, but if you want them to heal, you'll stay there and try to keep moving to a minimal"

Shard looks back at Daemon, "No, I merely wanted to thankyou for helping me, I was going to get to me feet, and shake your hand, but unfortunately I don't have the strength to do that, but...thankyou"
Shard forces herself to her feet and wanders over to Kassern
Cythnar mutters something about people not listening to him
Shard notices Kassern wincing slightly and favouring his arm, "That's just like you Kassern, worrying about everybody else's injuries and neglecting your own"
Kassern forces himself to smile, "It's alright, just a small scratch"
Shard grabs Kassern's arm gently, "A scratch!!....Kassern!...it has sliced right down to your bone"

Kassern looks worried, "Daemon, it would be best if we fixed up those injuries for you, we can heal, just crossing the barrier it takes a little while for our full power to return....thankyou Daemon"
Shard nods, "Yes, thankyou, again"

Cythnar warns Daemon, "You'll make it worse if you move around, just sit still!!"
Kassern sighs, "Shard will be back to her old self again soon, after some rest"
The spark seems to come back to Shard's eyes, "I'm perfectly fine, now..."
Kassern raises an eyebrow at Shard, "Really??"
Shard's eyes turns dangerously white, "You watch it Kassern, or you'll find my dagger in your stomach....when I say I'm alright, then I'm alright!"
Shard heads off to scan the area
Kassern laughs, "What did I tell you, back to her old self already, but just in case Cyth, can you go with Shard, we can't afford to have anyone captured again, now....lets get you fixed up Daemon, my healing power has returned"
Kassern heals Daemon, "How does that feel, can you stand??"

Kassern sighs, "I figured it out the minute I met you, The Twelve aren't exactly human either, we're deceased humans, so we can tell if someone is dead or not"

The man is walking away, but the eye turns to look at the soldiers.
Their minds are assualted by overwhelming telepathic powers.
The soldiers turn and run, fleeing in terror.

It is a warm, pleasant afternoon in Charn.
The ground shakes.
A titan stands up beside the city, 120ft tall, and dressed in typical Black Watch armour.
He strides towards Charn, wielding a 200m long Muramasa.
He is one of the Black Watch Elite, a being called Dolgur.

Anglachel sees civilisation in the near distance, hopefully there is someone there
Anglachel recognises that city, It is the ruins of the City of Three Moons
Anglachel takes a quick look around the ruins

Something makes Anglachel turn around.
She sees a line of black, vertical in the sky.
The gate to the void is opening again.
Through it marches tides from the Void, an army of Templars and Sensei.

A white doorway appears on the road to Ashton.
It grows to 100m wide.
It opens, and an army of Shades of the Black Watch march through.
They surround the city, and wait.

Dolgur also bides his time.
