Losses of the Past

[Mysterious Youth]

The man stood there and shook his head smiling as he leaned over putting a hand to her face, an aura of true kindness eminating from him. Something that was never felt from Ryu.

"My lady, calm down, I shall not hurt you." With that he would stand erect and then walk to the roofs edge looking toward Goldenmyst and would his eyes would narrow as he tilted his head in wonder. "Tis odd. I feel my blood in several locations..."

Lai would awake in Goldenmyst, the one child that seemed to still know her father and look toward Tara where she would feel the stranger, Hazen would look as well but kept laying down not saying a thing.

The man would look back to Dez and shrug. "Odd but I am beginning to think that I am not in the time I remember.... I take it, that it is far past the day of my first wife's funeral...." He would look down in saddness as he sighed. "How long was I alive before I died?"

He would look to Ezrebrum and now tears would stream down his cheeks. "My dear sister.... I see. Well then show me my past....."

Ezrebrum would glow, and cover him in its aura of light blue light. As his memories hit him he would begin convulsing, his body shifting from form to form, the form of Diablo Ryu would be easily recognised, without warning his hand would raise, a portal of blue openning to a stone throne elsewhere, the Realm of Dragon's and he would throw himself through the portals, his screams tearing through the night silence till the portal portal closed.

Then a portal would open in front of Lai and she would enter the portal, dissapearing into it, it closing behind her.

The Nova's light fell over his form it seemig to burn away leaving him gone. But when he spoke of true immortality he ment it. As the youth came to speak to Desari and the portal has closed from the odd woman, he stepped from a bail of smoke that rose. "Idoit!You still haven't learned. A gloved hand came into the boy's hair pulling him back, and soon the other dropped to his shoulder and spun him around.

"The Gods might die from such things as your little toy, but I am not like them." His words were low, holding a steady anger, him soon releasing the lad. "Try again, Vincent..." He scowled down at the youth, him soon trying to lift his gaze to Desari. Its as then he seemed to have softened slightly, his hand extending ot to her. "When I said immortality I meant it. Ones creation cannot die without the creator being dead first... and I assure you I don't think Vincent here would want to harm Persephony. Well, maybe he would for denying him so long ago... but damn he can't remember that."

Those odd hues shifted back to Ryu, ready for him to strike again, waiting for his anger to rise and make him some sort of a challenge or at least an equal. Laughter stuck in his throat, him coming to shake his head before he turned towards Des once again. Could she blame him for being anger-filled? Noone really could, this 'Ryu' they spoke of and cared about attempted to end his bodies very exsistance, and capture his soul.

His tongue licked over his lips, his gloved hand taking her chin in his hand, his thumb running under her eyes to brush away her sorrow. "Everything will be alright... I promise." Who was he? Many wondered about him and his past, how he came to be what he was. Why he chose this path over others.

He half expected her to pull away, but if she didn't he smiled reassuringly towards her before letting his hand drop to his side, him turnign full face to Vincent. "So, you at least remember me? You should, The rival dragon even in the heavens and hells. Remember my mortal name, Vincent? Does Frendrick Cortez ring a bell in that small, easily mulnipulated mind of yours?"

[Desari]

::she nodded to him, the shook her head:: I know not what it means that you feel your blood in several places...My name is Dez...::she had failed to give him her titles...in the state she was in she doubted she would have remembered them all:: Pray tell me your age and perhaps I can help you...

::she fell silent once more as he spoke to the blade...she knew the sould that resided in the blade...she had met Ezrella once...she closed her eyes, trying to shut out that memory...she screamed again as the young man shifted from form to form...the green lights had begun fading...suddenly in front of her a portal opened of sapphire blue...This was too much vor her right now...she pulled her self up and leaned against the wall as Seragatto spoke to Ryu...she took his hand in hers and he would feel the fine tremors that ran thru her...:: I know what you meant by immortality...And I asked you a question you still have not answered...How do I know you are not offering the same thing as everyone else in my life...A world of nothing but pain and grief? ::she looked away and sighed:: Others have made promises and each and everyone was broken...

::a small noise came from behind her...looking over her shoulder, she saw one of her children...pulling away from Seragatto, she ran over to her and picked her up, hugging the child close to her:: You, sweeting, should be in bed...::she kisses the mop of black hair on her head and began calling for Sara to take Kahlan back down stairs...the child looked over her mothers shoulder to Seragatto and stared in wonder for a moment...handing her over to Sara, Desari whispered in the servents ear and watched as she rushed back down the stairs with the child...turnng around, her gaze found him and she shook her head:: You want me to give up everything...Why? Why do you care what happens to someone you have never met?

[Queen Solace Rayana Klojhen]

(this just gets worse and worse all the time. I am so confused now it's not even funny. I have read all these posts since Lina left three times and I still don't get it. Lina won't be returning.)

[Vincent Cambridge]

He would ponder Seragatto but a soft smile would cross his face as he tilted his head. The man had power, power that would have once rivaled his, but now, he was nothing compared to Vincent. The only thing the guy had going for him was the simple fact that he was truely Immortal.

"Sir, I think you should leave." With that he began to draw Ezrebrum and Soulstealer, he wouldn't draw Soulstealer without Ezrebrum in hand. "You seem to be making the woman uncomfortable." As Kahlan walked out he tilted his head, eyes narrowing slightly then he looked back to Seragatto.

The memories flowing from Ezrebrum hadn't gotten to half the darkness in his life but Persephony was early in his life and he shook his head. "Frendrick... Cortez... I cannot say it rings a bell yet. But rest assured when it hits me I'll tell you. he would twitch as memories of loss and pain hit him, he was still only about a hundred years into his lifetime as he was remembering his past life.

Now as his memories began to go through his mind, blue streaks appeared in his hair as he stared at Seragatto and he began grinning as he tilted his head. "Who was Persephony again?"

[Lady Desari]

::Kahlan began screaming as Sara took her down the winding staircase...Desari called Sara back and walked away from both men to hold her daughter...taking her in her arms, she shushed her and rocked side to side and the child calmed down...the child's gaze searched out eveyone else's and she began babbling...the toddler knew not of the violence that had been taking place and was simply happy to be with her mother...Desari tired shielding the child from them both as she waited to see what would happen next...::

Raine stared dully into the bedroom window, not a single emotion displayed on her face. She was mimicking a zombie better than Ryu at the moment. Her babies were gone.

[Vincent Cambridge]

As the last question left his mouth he twinged, Ezrebrum feeding him a whole string of years through his head at once, his screams echoing through the night as now he looked to Seragatto and he slashed the air, a cut in the air openning wide to admit the youth as he looked to Seragatto in what seemed hateful rage.

"Your death will be at my hands soon... and Persephony.... she will one day be mine as well..." With that he stepped into the portal as a wave of more of his life hit him his screams could be heard until the portal closed leaving Ryu in the Realm of Dragon's separated from Desari, Seragatto and the others and he would look at Lai, having left Hazen back with his mother Raine.

"My... daughter. Funny how your mother looks so much like my first wife. I know now why at one time I wished to marry her. Looks like in my past I was... cold to her. Guess that was part of becoming a God... becoming a cold hearted bastard as well." He would walk to Lai, those once streaks of blue in his hair seemed to now be the majority of his hair color as he hugged his daughter and for some reason it felt right holding his daughter, out of all his children, she held the highest portion of his blood... she held most of who was once Ryu's power.

(Okay Vincent is done here.)

[Desari]

::she clung to Kahlan and once more watched the evnets unfold before her...she had never,in all her dealings with Ryu, heard that name...her eyes widen as he sliced a hole thru timr and space before him...his parting words at Seragatto snapped her out of the haze she was and she stood striaght, the spell being said in her mind...she watched him disapear and then lookded at Seragatto:: I will never join you...It looks as if you cause nothing but hate, anger and rage...I have enough of that in my life...Be gone from my lands...I never want to see you near my children again...::taking Kahlan, she went down the sprial stair case and into one of the three rooms that held her family...the door slammed shut as she walked to her bed and sat on the edge, still holding her daughter, who now began screaming once more::

[xxseragatoxx]

He stared at Desari in disbelief as she snet him away and left him standing there... very well... He would leave but he would watch over her... He wasn't the enemy here. He worked for holiness and light. It just happened he was the queen of the chessboard of the gods, and he was calling Desari to sacrifice and become the partnering Queen... It would take time, lots of time seeing Vincent tossed him back to his beginning step. As her back turned to leave he sighed, him allowing himself to slowly dispatch within the rising red smoke. "It is a matter of time till you see the truth, my dear dear Desari...."

((Alan, You want Seragato to come to your thread, or disappear for a while only to come back and torment you later? And Desari... Thank you. his is goign to be a kick ass SL...))
