The Sundering of the Soul

[Hades]

He watches Syn's transformation and his deep laugh roars through the trees that surround the clearing. "Ohhh! Look at you! Not so tough now are we Alexander?" Dangling the diamond necklace in front of Syn, ignoring Gelina's initial screams.

Pooling the necklace in the palm of his large hand, he looks up, just in time to see the dragon leap at him. She was little more than halfway through the air when he backhands her, knocking her several feet away from himself and Syn. "Shut up you insolent fool of a woman! This is of no matter to you. Stay out of it!"

Then he looks back at Syn. "Very galant of her. You must mean something to the dragon. Hmmm..." Was she a weakness? Could she be one of the keys? Pouring the necklace from one hand to the other. "If she was holding this for you, she must mean something to you. Not that that matters anyway. For now I truly hold you in the palm of my hand, Alexander. What say you now?"

[Syn Thornheart]

Taking in those deep breaths he would stagger upwards, his upper body bended for he would try to stand up straight, but no, it wouldnt happen. His hands would curl into a fist as he would step foward with one leg his body waving back and fourth. His breathing slowing down once more. Leaning his hand on a tree trunk he rose up, only to show those dark lavander hues.

"What do I think now?" He mage said softly, leaning against a tree as his arm went to his sides now, his head turning to Hades with a smile.

"You loose me...you loose that necklace...and...surely Death will come back..why? Because YOU let him take your most ''prized" person...The strongest Demon in your world.." His said, his eyes closing, his head leaning back onto the trunk of the tree. His body felt extremly heavy.

[Earthmother Gaea]

The earth goddess walks up to peek over Hades shoulder. "Indead, where is our little Death now? Even as ye toy with these mortals, ye should be looking to thine own realm, Hades."

She deftly plucks the gem from his hand, looking at it for a moment before tossing it back to him. "And ye'll need this one as thy champion, for it is his demon that holds Death's power."

Normally Hades can do as he pleases with his Avatars, but Gaea thinks he's lost his focus on the important issues. She steps over to the dragon, a touch of the goddess's hand healing her from Hades blow. "Be whole, daughter."

[Hades]

He looks at Gaea and rolls his eyes. He'd wanted Syn's soul for a long long time. But, unfortunately, she was right. Gods he hated it when she was right!!

"Alright, alright..." Said with heavy sarcasm. "Fine." The flames outlining his form flare up for a moment as he looks at Syn, then he throws the necklace back to the dragon. "Don't think you are off the hook, Alexander. It's only because we... and I use the term loosely, need you right now." Glancing at Gaea then back to the two mortals again. He was furious. He had the chance to own Syn once and for all, but the four fools that thought they could just come down here and destroy anything they wanted, had gotten in the way.

[reddrgnspirit]

Gelina landed hard. Not a good thing since she'd just healed and come back to help. Tears in her eyes she watches as Syn is basically dying while Hades holds the necklace. When Gaea finally speaks up she smiles a little, then looks up at the Earth Mother as she moves over to her and heals her. "Thank you, Mother."

As she gets to her feet, eyes watching Hades closely, the necklace comes flying back over to her and she catches it in her right hand. She looks back at Syn and quickly clasps it back around her neck, remaining behind Gaea. She would be safe there, right? Thank the Goddess. Literally.

With the necklace back in place, Syn would be fine. He'd regain his strength and take back his demon side again. If anyone could finish this, he could. At least she hoped.

[kalimofvalmont]

Eyes simply watched as he mimicked Pendor Fae by resting on a branch. Kalim knew not what to do, or who was doing what to whom...as it was all pretty confusing. For the most part, he grasped the concept that War was now cast into a sword, forever trapped there so long as its owner was of strong good will. Death had fled Anduin's body, Syn was now...full angel? And Gaea had done something to one of the other horsemen, but he couldn't really make out what.

He sighed slightly, before a smile came to his lips seeing Anduin and Angel reunited. It made him happy, for a brief moment, until he remembered Sate. But then again, he'd dabbled there before...and he knew better this time around.

Standing up off the branch of his tree, he fluttered back down to the ground. Eyes moved to Hades, who had Syn's soul. That seemed interesting...but Kalim was focused on something much more important.

"I know that it is not my place to tell the Gods what they should or should not be doing..." He cleared his throat loudly so that everyone would hear him this time. "But wouldn't you think...that maybe...I don't know...just maybe it might be a wee bit important to find out where Death went?"

[Baroness Angel DelaSangre]

She sighed for a light moment as she placed her hand onto his cheek. Singing a soft draconic lullaby to him, taking him mind away from what was going on around them.

Her eyes shifting to look to the others, she wouldn't stay long now.. she needed to know to Anduin would be safe.. and that she would return to her own life, with her husband.

Looking back down she gave him a soft smile, letting him know that she was there.. that she wouldn't let anything happen to him now, it was all okay.

[Pendor Fae]

While he is an avatar of Kronos, he can only hold time for so many moments before it resumes it's normal pace. He'll shoot one more set of the mystical smoke rings toward Ares, after that the god is on his own. The hobbit nods to Kalimar, still puffing on the pipe, relaxing on the branch. He turns to watch Gaea confronting Hades, nodding. The dead were being gathered in the underworld and Hades was the only one with the authority and power there to stop it.

[ares]

His body was struck with the ebon lightling. His eyes narrowing down some, it was time to get serious. He would smile as those ebon waves of lightling went down his arms.

''You really think that would work? I USE this element! The only person who can really hurt me with this is my father!"

Mind you he didnt say this with pride. He would growl, both of his hands turning into flames. Thrusting them out two giant fireballs left the palm of his hand and left straight forward towards Pestilence (sorry if I spelled it wrong.) Mind you, the god of war was about to get angry. He was about to go into the mode that most people saw when he was in the midst of battle.

[Hades]

Gaea's words finally sinking in, he snarls at Kalimar, then turns his gaze inward to sense what is happening in his realm. Ares can probably handle the last Incarnation without his help, he's heading back to the underworld to kick some butt.

In a blaze of sulfuric flames, he descends into the earth. He gives Syn a look that promises they are not finished yet, just before he disappears.

The first thing he does once back at his palace, is to reinforce Cerebus at the door with a couple of major demons. Next he calls the dead to arms as he goes to the tower to gaze out into the planes of the Netherworld.

A coup de tat? He doesn't think so. Death was about to learn a lesson, you don't mess around with Hades' souls, most especially not in his own realm.
