(I thought Michael was dead and the fire god was mourning over his corpse.) "Serge, if you could allow me to do what I do best we may be able to lower that number to three others, not four. " The wolf glanced meaningfully at the corpse of Michael over on the roof. He was planning on making the foolish swordsman into a death knight, one of his personal champions. He had a few other plans for the boy as well, but he was hardly about to voice them to his companions as of now. He turned to face Serge again after a moment of pondering his course of action. "I think our best bet is to approach with caution, while I would love to see you all dead and be raised as my personal champions, I would prefer if we dealt with the unknown thingy over there first. " Just as Grey finished his sentence his little villagers (Whose skin and flesh had begun to rot away as they made the transition into shades) had reached the point of impact.

(Had gotten a request by donzo in a pm so I brought him back for a little while but I do plan to kill him off after I know very confusing right now sorry for that )

(Oh,no worries man. You wouldn't mind if I... Borrowed him for awhile after he dies would you?)

"I couldn't agree more" Serge said looking out towards the site of the Incedent. Something about this whole thing was wrong, very wrong. The heavy Magical pressure wasn't erased after the explosion, in fact it seemed to only increase. It made Serge tremble and sweat. He wondered if Grey could feel the same pressure, if he could he was certainly putting on a good show on it not effecting him.

"Hey, Im not sure how the laws of magic work on this planet, but I should explain something about how they work on Exaldin." Serge said turning towards Grey "Every Sentiant being emits a magical aura, some call it chi, some call it ki, Reiatsu whatever you want to call it. In the adverse, Arcane energy free floats around the universe. We have come to learn that the closer planets are to our home planet, the stronger their connection to Arcana in it's various forms" Serge said with a worried look on his face as the magical pressure continued to increase

"With this knowledge, we formed a hypothosis which quickly proved to be true. The further an Anthain is away from our homeworld, the weaker their magic becomes." He said looking back towards the incident point "For myself, my magical power is about one third of my maximum potential. Whatever this thing is, this thing that came from Anthis.......... It doesn't follow Anthain Magic Law"

This worried Serge imensly, it was comparible to something defying the laws of physics in front of one's own eyes.

The impact site was, to say the very least, unnatural. It wasn't the large crater that made it so, but the entire landscape leading to the impact site was turned completely to crystal. An eerie pale green crystal that glowed with spectral light. A caravan of merchants, obviously trying to run from the explosion, were frozen solid as if stasised in reality. A man thrown from his horse from the aftershock, was frozen in crystal mid air. Nothing held him up from the ground, his face was frozen eternally in terror, his body flailed out awkwardly. It was like the entire area, even gravity was frozen.

The Carvan and all of it's members were similarly frozen, some falling to the ground, others mid gallop on their steed who were also frozen in the cursed Green crystal. Other animals as well didn't escape the horrific fate. Everything within two hundred yards of the impact site was completely frozen, immbobilized by the Crystal.

As the souls drew nearer and nearer to the crater, if they were Grey's eyes and ears. Visions of children being slaughtered, people being massacred, families being destroyed. Torture, maiming, pain. The random visions depicted nothing else. The visions would stop as they drew ever closer to the crater. Soon grey would begin to hear whispers, a dark female voice, beautiful yet terrifyng. Nonsensical whispers, which grew louder and louder as the spirits neared the crater.

Then the would become clear as they grewy louder and echoed "Grey........ Grey..........GREY!" The loudest came with an instant vision Oh a woman's pale face and black hair

Grey,now hearing this knowledge began to compare his own source of power to the Anthian version. The further that the lupine was from his phylactary his magical powers dwindled to a point. They stop weakening when he is about at a quarter of his full arcane ability. His eyes flashed grey a moment as he looked back out over the scene. His body language, although trying to keep up a good outward appearance to perhaps inspire his temporary Allies was fading quickly. His fur bristled and his ears flattening against his head. He knew full well that this being would most likely be able to destroy his body here, his phylactary could always create another so the risk to himself was rather low. However, if the creature was not stopped here then it would likely grow in power until it was nigh unstoppable. He quickly turned again and looked at the would be corpse, frowning as it moved, a sure sign of life. "Damnit. " He muttered under his breath.


"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to promise here that if that... Thing, ends up mutilating one of you, I'll put you out of your suffering. Just wanted to let you know. "

Hearing the voices the lupine would cringe, recognizing each and every one of them as the death Screams and last requests of each of his victims. To his credit he had fulfilled each last request. He put his hands over his ears and screamed at the new voice. "Get out of my head!!! " Before immediately sprinting toward the crash site, not sure what to expect in the slightest. The only thing driving him forward without his temporary Allies was the fact that she knew his name, and that... Scared him.

"Grey Wait!" Serge yelled out as the Lupine dashed towards the Impact site. Serge furrowed his brow, was that fear? Serge had seen a lot and not much shocked him, but fear on the face of an undead was something terrifying in it's own right. "What did he see?" Serge muttered to himself

Against his better judgement he sprinted off after Grey. Grey, even though he had unholy ambitions. He was the only one whom Serge could count on right now. As limited as their encounter had been, Anthains held Brotherhood in very high regard. An Ally was an ally, and if you could save your ally you did. That was just how it was in Anthis, so as fast as his legs could he chased after Grey, not knowing what they were about to face

The Voices plaguing Grey's ears and mind continued to grow louder. Screams of anguish and death, voices pleading for their lives, women crying and children screaming for their mutilated parents. Amongst all of the whispers and screams and anguish, Her voice would come through crystal clear

"Grey.......... Greeeeeyyyyyy" The ghastly female voice sang into his mind followed by insane laughter "What are you running to Grey? Does the sound of your past scare you? Greeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy"

(Is it just me or is anyone else thoroughly enjoying this rp right now? Because I am positively loving it.)

Grey stopped his sprint as he reached the edge of the crystallized area. His lips curled into a snarl and he just stood there, growling at the largest crystal in the centre. Seeing the mutilated bodies and utterly destroyed anatomy did not bother him at all. The only thing bothering him was the sound of pain, suffering... And her voice. The mocking, sing-song voice that would not just be silent. He removed his hands from his ears slowly, and turned back to see that Serge had followed after him. Although grateful for the support, he somewhat wanted to handle this unknown female alone. "Who are you woman, and why are you in my head?!? "

A slow dark chuckle echoed throughout the epicenter of the site "Come find me......." Echoed throughout Grey's mind followed by the same insane laughter "Come find me Grey, I'll be yours..... Greeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy" The laughter subsided into a chuckle. The a loud scream and more insane laughter.

"i'm so lost without you Grey, I've missed you so much" said the female voice behind the Sadistic laughter.

From the center of the crater Grey would be able to see a female figure raise into the air

Serge caught up to Grey and gasped as he saw the devastation "It was a spell, Holy shit it was a spell......" He said in a shocked voice. "No way, Impossible" he said shaking his head and staring in disbelief. Grey would more than likely understand why it shocked Serge so much. The Level of not only Magic, but control and power it took to suspend and freeze space , time and reality. Whatever they were dealing with was not something that should exist on this plane.

"Grey man we need to think this through" Serge said reaching out for Grey. As he reached his hand was suddenly repelled back at the edge of the radius of corrupted energy. "What? It reacted to my magic....." Serge said quietly looking at his hand then back up to Grey "Grey! Get out of there!" Serge screamed, before reality seemed to flash for a moment and Grey would vanish from his sight.

Grey would still be able to see Serge but he remained invisible to the Anthian

Although utterly baffled at the amount of arcane energy being used to sustain the area in such a manner he merely shook his head, lips once again curling into a snarl. He reached over his shoulder with his right hand to slowly withdraw his runeblade. The scarlet runes along the flat of the blade pulsed with an unnatural, and most certainly unholy, light. Grey once again took off running, sword held off to the right as he just sprints forward towards the centre of the area. "What do you want from me damnit?! Tell me who you are, at least give me that much... And GET. OUT.OF MY HEAD!!!!

( yeah that's fine you can use him )

The soul reaper flash steps to where grey was but he was high up in the air watching them

( I will be posting as Ashe only for a while)

(Fine with me)

"Poor Grey, ehehehehehe " came the sadistic, psychotic female's voice, echoeing eerily through Grey's mind. "I want what you want silly" The Psychotic voice said before the hysterical laughing started echoeing in his mind again.

As Grey dashed towards the crater, the entire ground would suddenly turn black and begin to ripple like water. Grey would still feel solid ground under his feet. Soon the black ground would begin to rise up in mounds, hundreds of small mounds scattered around the two-hundred foot radius. Then like a balloon exploding into peices, the mounds burst apart, revealing hundreds of Greys, Serges and yes even the Soul Reaper Captain who decided to tag along. They all had slightly darker appearence, as if they were made of shadows that had solidified with color.

No sooner had the burst forth from the blackness did they all dash forward, The Shadow Greys all pulling their own blades as the rushed in. There were no eyes in the sockets of any of the shadows.

"Come find me Grey..........Greeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy" Sang the voice again before the laughter echoed once more

*The lupine growled and darted forward towards the sound of the voice. He swung his blade horizontally towards the shadows, but made sure to hit with the flat of the blade so as to push multiple opponents out of the way instead of dismember one or two. Grey looked around frantically for the woman who had decided to make his already wretched history be brought back to him. The only problem was that Grey had no idea who or what the female was. Nearly blinded by feral instincts and rage combined Grey's eyes began to flicker between yellow and grey, over and over again. "Reveal yourself woman, and perhaps we could have a pleasant chat instead of fightin!"
