Cycle of Glass

[Tacitus]

Attin grinned. These hounds were almost certainly the work of Sirrug. He laughed, then spoke, "Let's make a real game out of it, then, shall we?"

"I happen to know the Broken who makes these hounds." He turned to the Lifted. "How do you fight them? Really, however you want. I however, like to use a Venhr." He loosed his mist creature on the smoke hounds. It shifted form nearly every second, from a serpent to a crawling man, to a matching hound, as it bounded towards the gaseous creatures.

"I don't know how to do that... but..." She then cracked her knuckles, and grinned. And then she sent a large gust of wind at one of the smoke dog things. "So... should I know who you are?" She asked the guy. "I often find that there are a lot of things or people I should know, but don't." It's what happens when you are relatively new. Emphasis on relatively.

"Oh, maybe. I'm pretty old. I could probably teach you a few things. Though I guess I'm not a Lifted."

She shrugged. "Eh. Most of the Lifted I've met are snobs." 

[Fallapede]

One of the midnight hounds leaped at the Venhr, creating a twisting, writhing spiral of black and white. The other hound was caught by the gust, its essence scattered but slowly reforming.

"Hye does tend do that to a person. I swear, half the religions in the world were started because some lifted thought too high of themself." Attin watched somewhat casually as the creatures fought. "Sirrug won't stop at these hounds, you know." The Venhr seemed fairly matched with Sirrug's beast. "And if I'm right, he's not the only Broken here."

"Yeah, I assumed as much." She sighed. "Because why would anyone make life simple." She said sarcasticly. "I do understand why he'd want most Lifted dead. I just don't understand why he want's me dead. I don't really do much of anything here."

"Oh, Borutan's just not a very friendly sort," Sirrug replied, stepping out of a nearby wall. "What are you up to now, Attin? You always have the best plans."

[Tacitus]

"Ah, but why give it away now? That would take away all the fun," Attin said. "Why are you here? And working alongside Borutan?"

"So, why exactly does that guy want me dead, and who the heck are you?"

[Tacitus]

"It's a whole thing. He kills Lifted. He could monologue about it, were he here right now."

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

"Four, this shall be fun." Borutan summoned a mass of ravens with obsidian beaks and black metal feathers. "This shall be fun indeed." The top of the mountain caved in as Borutan leaped off the mountain towards the Lifted.

[Tacitus]

"Ah, and there he comes now," Attin said as the mountain's top collapsed.

"I didn't have much to do, honestly, and this much power gathered in one place always promises fun." Sirrug cocked his head at Rawiya. "Do you mind if I kill her? It feels like sort of a waste to go to all the trouble if I don't follow through." Around him, shadows began to shift and darken.

Attin sighed. "Well, now, I have use for a Lifted. And I'm running out of options, you see." He prepared Dacke, reaching out to objects in the city.

"Yeah, I'd prefer not to die right now. So... If you would mind not killing me, that would be wonderful."

"And I am ignoring that coment for the moment."

"And I am ignoring that coment for the moment."

Attin grinned. "Good instinct."

[Fallapede]

"I promise I'll go easy on you, but Borutan's an old friend, and I'd hate to disappoint him. Good luck!" As Sirrug finished speaking, Rawiya's shadow erupted spears of darkness.

Attin grinned. "Good instinct."

She rubbed her hands together. "Okay." Step 1: Figure out how to stop bird guy. Step 2: Actually stop bird guy. Step 3: Figure out what the heck is going on. Step 4: Finish the book. Okay. I've got to figure out how to stop him. But what can I do against that? "Well. I think I'm a bit outclassed."

[Tacitus]

Attin lept into action, ripping bricks out of buildings and streets to form golems of stone. He then made similar beings out of all he could find, wood, straw, mud. All charged at Sirrug, in an attempt to overwhelm him. He quickly called two more Venhr aside him, and then prepared himself. Grabbing two puppets at once was straining, even for a fairly skilled Broken. He grabbed four. The one he currently resided in, Hood. Brute. Mesh. And Steel. They loosely surrounded Sirrug, quickly transporting themselves to the site, each filled with Dacke. It was an interesting effect, allowing each puppet to take in and control a sizable amount of Dacke. Not as much as he could hold in one, but far more than just a quarter of that.

Borutan landed in a giant crater and stepped out of it, cracking the ground with every step. "Quite correct, hello Attin, fine weather isn't it?" The ravens flew towards the girl.

Attin would know that Borutan isn't quite bloodlusted and would be perfectly willing to make a deal for him to hunt her later.

"AND NOW THE STUPID BIRDS ARE ATTACKING ME TOO?!?! WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE ME SO MUCH?" She yelled, frustrated. She ran to the nearest building, and used a combination of magical abilities to get to the top of it. I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! AHHHHH! She desperately ran around, trying to stay alive. Oh. Wait. I have an idea. She started spearing the birds with streams of air. "DIE EVIL BIRDS! EAT WIND!"

[Fallapede]

"You're always fun to play with, Attin. But I don't want to deal with you right now!" The area went black for a moment, and Sirrug vanished, replaced by a pack of midnight hounds.

[Tacitus]

"You might find that difficult," Attin said, restraining the hounds with powerful gusts of air from Mesh, and then setting some of Borutan's birds on fire with Brute and Steel.
