King Aragorn of Gondor Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Nym turned, something had caught her eye, and saw three voidbringers coming towards her. "Umm... GUYS?"

She went into the house and simply said, "Voidbringers." @AonEne @Lunamor @Wyndlerunner @Eluvianii @Sorana @ShadowLord_Lith @Sherlock Holmes @anyone Edited October 25, 2019 by Aragorn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now. At the wedding party. She felt cold when she looked at them, realized that she would have to kill again. Mahad settled on her shoulder, coin forgotten for the moment and she took a deep breath. They were coming. But they had a few moments to prepare left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Just kidding, what I'll actually do is fight them. This is why our Radiants can't have nice things "Voidbringers." It was one word, and it upended Cassie's entire world. They were here? Here, here? They know where the house is. They know where we storming live. She stared at Nym for a minute, then hissed out a breath. One heartbeat later she was out the door, Joyblade in hand, fiercely not thinking about the lightspren, and at Shana's side. "Three of them," she said softly. "Go for the rightmost together on three?" @Sorana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Quote He was just worried since she was the first person that age arriving to the house, I didn't think this would happen again Edwin looked back at the three figures. They were definetely coming to the house and those red eyes were unmistakable. He ran back inside, his mind still trying to process what was going on. Of course they would attack again, last night they had failed but that didn't mean they had given up. He felt terrible for being worried about the world finding out, he had been so clouded by that that he had forgotten the original problem. The real problem. Now they had to fight again. What little Cohesion he could use wouldn't do much, he needed a weapon. They had weapons in the house, for now his only option was to get one, even if it meant losing time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ben lurched to his feet and immediately ran for the nearest supply of spheres. He scooped up several bags of them, enough to last each Radiant for quite a while. He then took up position near the door, where people would have easy access to the stormlight and his healing. He would be useless in the fight- this was the only remotely helpful thing he could do. He had learned that the hard way yesterday. He resisted the urge to suck in some stormlight to help with his nervousness and lingering exhaustion. Wasting it like that was not something that they could afford at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She jumped at the sound, dropping the book she'd been reading and racing downstairs. There, she saw Nym, standing in the living room, and Cassie and Shana running outside. She followed them to the door, trying to see what was going on outside. It was easy to see. Voidbringers. At the sight of them, red eyes seeming unnaturally large and bright, all strength left her. Evelyn sagged against the door frame, fer vision growing darker, pain beginning to bloom once more in her back, as the same scene began to flash through her mind once again. The not-light flashing, the pain - No. She couldn't relive this again. Not right now. Voidbringers were attacking. Her fingers tightened on the door frame as she forced the pain and memory away. Then, she ever so carefully pushed herself away from her support and let go. She'd need her hands if she wanted to help. "What can I do?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Blessing Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ashlyn instinctively drops into a crouch at the yell and and the sudden motion and reaches for her hip, then remembers bitterly that she had to kick her 1911 into a storm drain. Muttering a curse she steps back and watches for now, trying to decide how to best help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Go see if others are coming around the back to surround us," Cassie called back, warily eyeing the three advancing Voidbringers. One was darting in the air, glowing with Voidlight, and two others moved by land, one sliding and one running too-quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Three of them," she said softly. "Go for the rightmost together on three?" Shana nodded, judged the way Cassie held her blade and quickly moved to her other side. Better if they didn't cut themselves up while they attacked and gave her a curt nod. It would leave them in the middle of all three, but if the were fast, cut down the first, then they could turn to the sides, stand back to back and each face a second one. It could work. "One." She shifted her weight, bend her knees slightly. This was what she'd needed. To take her weapon and smash something to pieces. "Two." Shana inhaled, the stormlight like a fist to her stomach a wild glorious fist she readily embraced. "Three." Shana rushed forwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowLord_Lith Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Jace blinked at the sudden movement of people running this way and that, and one word got stuck in his head. Voidbringers... Again. And tonight of all nights? No, that was... he refused to let those stupid jerk ruin not only the best night of most of his friends high-school careers, but his wedding night... He knew martial arts, and he gripped Ax's hand as he looked at the doors. "Love, I'm going to go murder something if I go out that door. Should I go?" He subconsciously tried to breath in starlight, managing and not even realizing it. Not much, since there weren't many in the immediate area around them, but... he did it. @Sherlock Holmes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 "You're not going unless I can help said murder," Ax said, his face twisted into a snarl. On my wedding party... How dare they. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 He nodded, setting his taco down gently before taking Ax's hand and heading outside. "Let's do it then." He trembled in anger, knowing that his and Ax's suits would likely get ruined... He didn't really care, honestly. He was more furious that the voidbringers were here. He took in the situation outside, trying to figure out how to help without getting in the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Aragorn of Gondor Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Nym was ready to lend a hand if things got ugly with Cassie and Shana but, they seemed to handle themselves pretty well out there. Until a solitary Voidbringer turned his attention on her. She knew, she wasn't getting out of this fight. He charged, she dodged, barely, and rolled to the side. She had just enough time to get out one of the daggers that she carried around everywhere but, once she got it out, she was hit in the stomach, she now had broken ribs to deal with, great. She made her attack, she sighted and threw, her aim was off but, she got him with a solid blow to the arm. He charged again, and landed a glancing blow to her side. She stumbled and, fell. And, just like that, the Voidbringer was coming again. Lopen watched all of this and said, say the words, Nym! Nym weakly said, "I will protect anyonye, even people I don't know, so long as it is right." With that, and a burst of light, she summoned Lopenblade, and rammed it into the Voidbringer. Killing it. @AonEne @Lunamor @Wyndlerunner @Eluvianii @Sorana @ShadowLord_Lith @Sherlock Holmes @anyone Edited November 20, 2019 by Aragorn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Quote Had to write a complete new post as Aragorn changed their post's ending. Then realized that Itiah reacted to my post, so I had to improvise a little. Shana felt alive, the stormlight inside of her a welcome firestorm, her movements quick and secure. She arrived at the Voidbringer and lifted her two-bladed staff, slammed it deep into the side of the Voidbringer. The Voidbringer hissed in response and slashed at her arm. Shana easily accepted the blow, felt the blood run down her arm. It left her in a perfect position to trap the Voidbringer between her at Cass, and she - A blade stabbed her from behind and she screamed in pain. Blood ran down her side when the Voidbringer turned the handle of his knife around and pain seared through her, black spots dancing in front of her eyes. A hand reached out for her should, clomped down painfully. It closed around her throat and she instinctively reached out for it, tried to pry it away from her throat. The stormlight added to her strength and she tried to get it off, but she was too weak. She was fifteen, and the Voidbringer was a fully grown man. Gasping for air she reached for the storm inside and closed her fingers around the hand suffocating her. She reached for the storm, for her fear and fury for the fire spurning her on, heard Rob scream again, her own screams unhearable due to missing air and she pushed it all over. The hand glowed in an eeried reddish blue light, when she ripped the body apart, when she turned it into nithing but a pile of charred bones on the ground behind her. Blood continued to run down her back and leg, but she was able to breathe again and so she did, gasped for air although her throat seemed to be aflame.

I think I am here. Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Rob stood up and the world blurred as the conflict began. It was always like this, a pleasant moment interrupted by duty. By the demons they were obligated by Honour to remove. It was amusing, they had just been talking about security in case the Voidbringers appeared. What was decidedly not amusing was the ruined party. Breathing in stormlight he walked forward and watched the battle unfold. He watched the woman who’d called out in warning obliterate one, swearing an Ideal, and he watched Shana incinerate one. Stepping beside her Rob looked at the final Voidbringer. One Voidbringer against a houseful of Radiants was bad odds, storms, it was terrible odds. “We should capture it,” he told the group. “Interrogate it, like in those FBI shows. It might give us more information than killing it straight away.” It, the Voidbringers were always it. It hurt a little inside whenever Rob acknowledged they were people too, just one who had strayed onto the wrong path. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen worse odds.” And the loop of being attacked, responding, killing some Voidbringers and watching the rest retreat for another day had become standard. No new information had been gathered, they were in the same place as they had started, always ripe to be attacked again. So why not scour one Voidbringer for information? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana shot him a quick smile, looked at the hurt Voidbringer. "Capturing sounds great." She agreed, tried to forget the fact, that she'd just killed another human. She pointed at the ground. "Go ahead. I will cover you, and slicken his feet and legs." Without looking away from the Voidbringer she added for Nym. "They are human. Influenced but human.

ShadowLord_Lith Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Jace stepped outside, seeing everything. He grimaced, upset that he'd missed most of the fight. He hadn't been able to do anything... just like when those doctors had tried to 'cure' him... He glared at the final void bringer, furious. If these things didn't exist, he'd probably have known- the radiants might have found him before those doctors did, and he wouldn't have had to suffer. It was the void bringers fault... He ignored the stupidity of the idea got ignored for now as he lashed out at the thing- trying to make it suffer as much as he had. Maybe then they could get the thing... What he didn't expect to happen was light rushing out out of him as he grunted with the mental effort of trying to do whatever Lightweavers did and force the void bringer through what he'd seen, and what he'd heard. Light formed around the void bringer on all sides, not overly much, but enough. It didn't touch the thing, which he somehow knew it couldn't do, but... he could make it experience the light and the sound he'd seen and heard. Inside the odd bubble of light, mind-breaking flashes of light and blackness and color and seemingly impossible distortions of reality flared- visible only to the void bringer by intentional design. What he couldn't quite block from the others was the screams of agony the light also made. Every tortured scream of pain, every plea and sob he'd made during those days in the psyche wards... all of them played together in one potentially endless, looping cacophony that was impossible to quite understand. The whole thing vanished shortly after, the starlight not lasting long, but he was certain the that the void bringer would be dazed by it. Those memories were all still so real, if he let himself think about them... Edited October 25, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ax stood next to Jace, unsure what to do. He was useless with this sort of thing, really. Everyone he knew here had had horrible traumas and he was... what? An orphan. That was it. He didn't know how to fight and he relied on his small, submissive boyfriend-- no, husband-- to protect him. Useless. I can't even decide how I want to spend my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
