Till the last breath..

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

Seeing the other ancient, he knows this is not good "You! Who the HELL WOKE YOU UP?!?!!?!?!?!"

[Marquis Lythis]

Xio speaks slowly, rasping the rumbled words, "...We do not sleep. I am Xio, Shard of Xioptoctl. We are jailer and watchman since time immemorial. We watch our charges, the Old Gods, in their eternal slumber... for We are the one who wakes the others should they rise from their trance of death." When Xio mentioned the Old gods the whispers took on a frenzied pace at a louder tone for a moment before settling into their mad rhythmic whispers again. Xio Looked to Anklor with a frown, and the multitudes of faces frowned for but a moment while they whispered their tales, "And you, demon, are bound by the rules of old set forth by my brethren... The War is not without it's purposes, child."

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

((Now THAT is real RP))
He shuddered, the shards were supposedly a myth, but he knew it to be true, so he saw the challenge "Why do you mention the old gods Shard? The war is to be ended, niether side to win but only ME and MY followers, world domination is not my prospect, but it has come to it, for we must take the two sides and make them one, and then rule our world within the reasonings of my word and yours, for it is prophisized to be so."

[Marquis Lythis]

((hehe. You have no idea how hard it is for me to RP in these forums. I have to hold back so much.... grr Alright, last post before I head off to work. For others that know rifts, this dude's got a HF of 16, and full form, which he attains in this post, is 19)

"prophisized?" He laughed in a totally unwholesome manor. "Prophesy is unreliable. Each prophesy can be deceiving as their meanings are not always as they seem...there are thousands of prophesies that come true in manors never thought of. And many more never become true because their keystone had been prevented from falling into place."

Xio closed his eyes, as if remembering...or receiving, a memory from Xioptoctl, "No. We must keep this war going for all time if need be. Do you think there is no reason... Why neither side has decimated the other in all this time?" He opened his eyes, and they flickered darkly with some alien thought. The whispers seemed to shift, some of them talking of other things that causes a primordial fear to bubble. As they id this the multitudes of faces began opening small, glittering eyes that burned like dark fire. "To keep blades and skills sharp, war is the only viable answer. To fight with all one has is the only way to improve. They are not dead, and should they rise again, that is the time for all of creation to band together. Until then, however, the most efficient way to improve and grow is all out battle. The Old Gods slumber, but they are not beyond waking."

Xio hands shook as the fingers became long, spindly, hard, and sharp. They ended up looking all the world like great spiders attached to his hands. They clicked and clacked across the hardened palms, causing a truly disturbing sight and sound as the whispers spiked here and there. His own face withered and changed, his eyes changing into a pair of gaping mouths with gnashing teeth and forked tongues. and his mouth widened two fold, his sharp teeth glittering wetly their dark amber color."millennia ago, a sect of mad mages attempted to wake an Old God. 'I' was made manifest from Xioptoctl to silence them. I slaughtered the mortals,  but I was not able to undo the damage the mages had caused before I arrived... It has been dreaming since, It is restless. Should it waken, all sides are required to be at their full potential. After all, our numbers have yet to recover from that time.... You... were not even in existence when the Battle against the Old Gods occurred. You only know the stories of their neigh unlimited power. Xioptoctl has gifted me with the memory of those horrors beyond measure. I can not let you interfere with existence's only countermeasure against them. For as much as I do not like those aligned with Light, I loath more those that would destroy existence in their deluded attempts to end war, our means of survival." The hundreds of tiny dark eyes gleamed hungrily, "Make your choice, demon."

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

He Scoffed, Did this Shard not know? He was infact an apprentice of an old god, but he only kept track of his age over 50,000 years, then time ceased to mean anything to him, and the shards, came during his time of slumber, but why were the old gods wanting this to happen, the bloodshed to go on? He grinned wickedly, his evil taking over, and he stomped the ground and a storm of meteors, lightning and ice formed in the sky, and at this he unleashed his true form, He grew Ten fold, and his chains grew into him, combining with bone and sinew alike, and his horns grew to form what looked like a malicious helmet, with the tips sticking from its top, and then his wings became intwined with chains, and his tail, grew spiked. The old gods were to be heeded, no matter what it went against in his morals. His claws Grew to becoming malicious Gauntlets, enthralling his Scythe in one hand and in the other, both swords that had grown into him like the chains, sticking from his forearm, He let forth an unearthly Roar that shook the planet, and then he bent down and picked up the Shard, placing him on his shoulder "We will do all we can to keep it going if the gods command it."

[Marquis Lythis]

The Shard nodded as he saw the demon relent to the will of his maker. He let himself be picked up by the large form  and as he was sat on his shoulder, Two of the larger mouths on Xio's chest coughed and hacked, and from them emerge handles. His spider like hands wrapped around them and pulled out the blades: twinned Khepesh, black as the void between stars. then all at once, all the mouths over his body fell silent. The glittering eyes burned darker, and the mouths coughed in unison, as if clearing a collective throat. Then in perfect synchrony they whispered a voice that traversed farther then most speaking would. It was in a rumbling tone that sounded as a thousand snakes through fallen leaves, the grinding of metal through bone, and the whisper of wind through a dead forest. "Yes..." Xioptoctl itself spoke through the multitudes of mouths, "Time has come and Time has gone... Expectations met duly. Delusion not gone, but hampered... You would  have dispersed Xio... manifestation had no intent to fight demons of old training... Name your benefactor in training. Verugh? Bellianos? another one, perhaps?"

[DaiRraito IS, FurryLAE.]

(( anklor, if my char is 'naruto-based' name 3 things that are derived from Naruto, cuz I only have 1  THAT ARE IN THIS RP I didnt plan on having a char like this, i just did ))

I stared up at the overly-large demon...
He's become bigger, stronger, etc...
But will that help him at all against more than 1000 Angels and demons..?
I glanced over at the wrap on my right arm...remembering the battle I went through..

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

He laughed manaicly "Both, and 3 more of the gods, yet over the millenia, their names have been lost even to me."

[Kabuki]

he sighs and keep a close eye on the three bickering
"GOD just likes demons......."

[Marquis Lythis]

((If anyone is wondering what's with the weird wordings and bad grammar of Xioptoctl, it has trouble translating it's alien thought into human speech.))

Xioptoctl spoke again, "Good... Good..." The hundreds of eyes shifted their gaze until all the ones that could were looking at Shunzui. "And... You. Demon of another blood. Why does the center resonate of a good nature? This is against Demon Cores. What is the purpose?"

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

"Sire, he is naught but an insignificant Pawn in this. Shall I dispose of him?" He knew it wasnt in his blood to love but in all of this he Hoped to his Masters that Airlea Remain safe

[Marquis Lythis]

"I want my answer of the question posed. Curious I am, and curious I am more... I sense something in you, too." The eyes divided themselves between the two demons, still awaiting an answer form Shinzui and now from Anklor. "What Are you hiding, one trained by Verugh?"

[Anklor, The Philosipher]

"My soul is torn, between my masters wishes, and the well being of a young angel." He was not one to defy and ancient

[Marquis Lythis]

((i think it's rather funny, right now, Xio is acting more like a telephone then a character. ))

Xioptoctl stayed silent, which was actually a little eerie, as the multitudes of faces didn't even whisper their secrets. The shard's body remained still and silent, the entity itself brooding across the vast reaches of reality.

[Kabuki]

"wow these three are creepy"
she sighed and plopped down behind a bug bush and watched them speak back and forth like little children
