((Sorry Cif, but it was either you or Cassandra, and she had already pulled the anger show, so she got the wrath. Lust has to be a girl, and Vi's the only girl left
You guys are making this so difficult for the good side to win...
YAY! You put Attu outside...
))
Attu's eyes slowly openned, and he felt the grass under his body. He was surrounded by people, all dressed and ready as if to go to war. He caught the glimpse of Shadis as his figured swirled and disappeared. One of the armored soldiers reached for him. As he touched Attu's fur, his face paled. After only a couple of seconds, he fell right beside Attu... dead.
Attu jumped up and grabbed another soldier who was stunned by the dead soldier. The man fell before anyone could react. He fell, just as dead as the other soldier. Just as swiftly, he fly straight up, flying into what appeared to be a rift in space. The rift disappeared behind him...
He had arrived back in the balloon Master's realm. His face hardened as he saw Cassandra and Rasui standing next to the king. Wolf and Leiton were missing, Vi was standing alone, and Cami seemed unconscious. But the Master was yet unharmed.
He began to walk forward as he saw the over-whelming darkness gathering in the king's eyes.

The plan wasn't working. The shade's magic was just too strong... They had to find a way to over-come it. Leiton tried to jump into it headfirst, his body becoming a mass of shadow that battered against the cloud of darkness around the sphere... his father's spirit.

The king put a paw on Rasui's and Cassandra's shoulder while looking at Vi. "Yes, Vi... You don't quite understand. Cassandra has accepted who she is. She is hatred incarnate. Her anger and aggression has manifested itself and formed her into what she has become. She is only as strong as her anger. Rasui's pride makes him stronger. You cannot imagine the power of knowing that your enemy cannot win, and slowly stripping the life from them... That is my Pride. You... are my Lust. You devilish charms weaken the minds of all men, and it is in that weakness that you are strong!"
