Yumara nods in understanding and enters an almost trance like state. She would need to create as things were sacrificed. Keeping her forest in balance was priority. With her mind and eyes attuned to her forest she could see through the eyes of every creature. She could feel, taste, smell, hear, everything around them. Yet even in her trance like state she lightly grips Master’s robes.
Isaik feels it just scant nanoseconds before all hell breaks loose. The tendrils that connect him to Yumara are the only warning he gets before she snaps. The very balance that keeps her sane shattering. The hand that usually grips his robe falls to her side. She takes on her more twisted treat like appearance as she screams in a mix of rage, pain, loss… the room around them shakes violently as large cracks appear in the stone floor ceilings and walls. An explosion of power from her decimates the top of the citadel from above them. With it gone as far as the eye can see, meteors rain from the twisted fel sky. Earthquakes and fel volcanoes erupt across the land. Claiming demonic and fey alike. A massive tree, home of thousands of fey creatures is swallowed. As the earth beneath it opens is maw devouring it screams of terror and pain echo across the land.
Isaik quickly realizes that the machine that should be claiming the souls of the dead isn’t working. His Yumara stand before him her form becoming more twisted and unrecognizable with every passing second. There’s a massive knot like those seen in large trees where her chest would be. It is growing, as it grows it opens pulling in all the souls fey, and demonic alike. Looking into it one would see a sea of souls. Twisting about each other in a never ending loop of terror and pain. The cacophony of their endless screams would drive nearly all that heard it insane. Entire worlds worth of souls trapped forever in an never ending cycle of torment. A few try to break free only to be sucked back into the chaos. For the briefest of a nanosecond there’s a flash of recognition, then it is gone. Still all around them the chaos rages on.
(*meanwhile on the Legion vessel.)
Izzabelle laughs then grabs his arm and pulls him in the opposite direction. Reaching up she taps the goggles she is wearing. “I’m merely following the map of the vessel layed out in the programmed infrastructure of this device.” As the two get closer the sounds of battle could be heard growing louder with each passing moment. As they round the next corner, before them rages a battle between demons and dark fey. Neither giving an inch as they tear into each other. Blood and gore dripping down the fel steel walls as they shred one another with weapons and magic. Izzabelle turns to Sericon and sighs, “well it see…” the rest was lost as area ahead of them is suddenly gone, vaporized to nothing but microscopic particles. Where there was once dozens of demons and fey there was now nothing to see but the fel infused storms of the twisting nether. Correction there was more a massive meteor shower raining destruction down upon them. For a brief second they are suspended in the air then they fall.
Without conscious though Izzabelle switches to her aranasi form and grabs Sericon. Flying while holding Sericon was difficult. Flying while holding Sericon and dodging great balls of flaming rocks was nearly impossible. Looking down the ground below them didn’t seem to be any safer then the sky. It was like the entire thing was imploding in on itself. Izzabelle twists in the air pulling her bonded against her shooting upward she barely avoids one one the deadly meteors only to put the in the path of another one. There is no place to go this is it.
The sound of a bell can be heard and everything freezes. strange why is there a cat out here in the twisting nether. then there is nothing but silence and darkness.
(Back in the citadel.)
Isaik would find trying to Calm Yumara and bring her balance back to be impossible. As she continues to cause destruction and death, she grows stronger fueled by the souls that she is sucking into an endless void. It is here that Orion appears with both Izzabelle and Sericon. Dropping the bonded he switches to his Time Lord form and rushes in to stop Yumara before her loss of control is noticed. Orion realizes swiftly that he would need all of his power to initially get Yumara into a timeless state. Yet that would put Izzabelle in danger of being claimed by Oblivion. Still his first and foremost duty was to watch Yumara. He quickly glances at the bonded, perhaps a way, one that he doesn’t deserve. Yet? Orion knows that this choice will be wrought with peril, and there will be a time when Oblivion will claim them both. However this will also give The Bonded a few extra minutes before they are claimed. As the time magic keeping Oblivion at bay ends on Izzabelle an arc of dark energy bursts from her connecting her to Sericon. Slowly the two start to fade, flesh becoming dust then microscopic particles before becoming nothing.
Orion unshackled throws all of his power at binding Yumara, at closing the black soul sucking hole that she had opened within her. As he twists time reversing it around the raging goddess. She strikes out at him razor sharp vines flaying flesh and muscles from his bones. Leaving them hanging in bloodied strips from his nearly decimated form. With a final twist of his hand the gaping hole in Yumara’s chest closes and she collapses in a time locked state to the ground. Orion then quickly reestablished the spell on Izzabelle. Sericon would only be effected by Oblivion when it was active on his bonded.
They should be okay for a moment, he could feel Yumara raging against the bonds that held her. Still the players needed to be gathered, decisions made. With that Orion brings a sudden end to Shenanigans the five of them appear back in Isaik’s underground lair. A moment later both Jaseiah and Aeseir appear in a time locked state. Everything in the room except himself and Isaik were frozen in time. “Use your sight Dark One, for something has upset the very balance of the world around us. Until we know the cause we will not be able to correct it. Until it is corrected Yumara will remain in a death like state. Keeping her under lockdown will require much of my magic. As such Oblivion will slowly claim the bonded. I will spare as much magic as I can to keep it from happening. Still even with that I wouldn’t give them more then a few months. The Children of Salkeen are quite formidable and I’ll most likely prove useful in the battles that lay before us. They are also a bit more malleable then either of their parents.”
