Asuka looks enraged at the "elf woman" comment. "Did you seriously just call me 'elf woman'? How dare you? I'm sure you, of all people, would recognize one who has been blessed with the friendship of an arcangel. Or would you? And I can see you thinking, Goldergon. It does not matter who I am to you. What does matter is what you did to my sisters. And do not assume you can just harm one such as Mardicos or Lucitius so easily. Not without help." Asuka looks surprised but satisfied at her outburst.

"And as for transcending time and death, think again. Dimensions and reality transcend time and death. You are neither, and so, you cannot be above aging or dying." she says this with a certain ammount of fear at provoking Goldergon, but anger and a desire to prove that she isn't weak. She can't explain this, so she stops thinking about it and just goes with it.

"And Mardicos, I assume you might have been within the range of my ritual. I did it in a forest to avoid alerting anyone. Did you happen to be in a forest just now?" she speaks directly to Mardicos now, wondering how he got here.

Felix walked towards the scene (where Nyx was killed), and watched as most disappeared. But as a major demon of Hell, he saw something the rest wouldn't see. Nyx's soul has left his body, and he is proceeding to the afterlife.

(do you think Nyx is going to Heaven or Hell)

"It appears, soul, your destination is my domain. Hell. Sorry, I guess. You're lucky a Prince of Hell is to reap your soul. But before I send you off, answer this. Why did they kill you? I only saw the end." Nyx was suddenly able to speak.

(maybe, but I think I'll let you keep him. idk at this point)

"They killed me because I wanted them to. I was tired of the death, the pain. I was in the process of killing Lucitius when I just realized I was done with that stuff. So, I let Lucitius kill me. Now, can I die in peace?" Nyx says this all in a distant, faint voice: the voice of the damned.

Asuka notices the surge of necromancy, as attuned to the life and balance of things as she is. She searches for the source and sees a demon, near Nyx's body. "Oh, no you don't." she mutters, determined to keep the fiend from reviving Nyx.

(Okay. Just know my offer will still stand if you choose otherwise. And also, if anyone else wants Nyx, feel free to ask.)

(Sorry for the length, got a little carried away)
(Tempting offer, but I find it difficult to play/have characters made by other people. I don’t know why)

Lucitius sighed,”Archangels were killed to extinction eons upon eons before mine birth, thus I have no knowledge of your kin. However, I know of elves, hence the moniker.”

His voice was quieter than in the last few minutes, and pain swirled in his eyes, but Lucitius didn’t move to acknowledge it.

Goldergon whirled on Asuka, growling.

“I am stronger than I appear, elf. And all Vanishers are immortal. We are timeless beings, wandering the multiverse until we are killed by the lucky few powerful enough to do so. I’d love to meet Radiant again, that I might rip her to shreds,”Goldergon hissed, his claws appearing.

“Such tiny little claws. A simple cat has larger claws than you,”Lucitius remarked.

Goldergon hissed at him,”I can rip out flesh with or without them!”

Lucitius raised a hand, showing off claws that stretched longer than a foot. They then grew longer.

“I can cut you in half without a thought, horizontally or vertically,”he countered.

Mardicos rolled his eyes at the two beings, looking at Asuka with a sigh.

“I was in a forest. There are many forests where I’m from. But, I could care. Why do these two creatures continue with a futile pissing match? I thought royalty was bad,”Mardicos said.

Goldergon glared. Lucitius glanced at Mardicos with a thoughtful grin.

“This one, Goldergon, loves murder. I, Lucitius, love murdering creatures like him,”he snickered.

“You can try!”Goldergon hissed.

“Were you not killed by an Archangel? Vanisher, I am no Archangel, I am a demigod, nearly a true god. The lesser gods cannot fathom mine power for I am the last of mine bloodline!”Lucitius retorted, laughing.

Goldergon growled, flexing his fingers. Mardicos then stepped between them.

“If you two don’t shut up, I will morph and tear both of you to pieces. I could care how powerful you are,”Mardicos hissed.

Goldergon rose an eyebrow in bewilderment. Lucitius simply smiled, glancing at Nyx’s body for a moment, but otherwise not moving.

Felix raised his eyebrows. "I am not committing necromancy if that's what you believe. I am sending him to his final life. But, he is a confusing case. He has committed forgiveness by sacrificial atonement, which always complicates things. I know, however, he will not be let into Christ's dominion. He must still go to Hell if he is to die." Felix looked back at Nyx, though Asuka couldn't see him. "But it won't be as bad as you think. Consider me your… insider friend."

Asuka laughs at all of this, then quickly becomes silent again, quite content for the men to finish their size contest without bothering her.

"You know, this is all very fun to watch." she whispers, smiling. She waits for Lucitius and Goldergon to work out their difficulties.

"And demon, necromancy is any sort of death magic. I know death magic when I sense it." Asuka says this in a disapproving tone, very much not pleased with the imbalance, however temprorary.

Lucitius glanced at Asuka with an amused snort, shaking his head. His leg then buckled and he abruptly collapsed, laughing.

“Pain is pleasure, pleasure is pain! What is this madness that haunts the rain!”he sang, laughing still.

Goldergon hissed gleefully, teleporting next to Lucitius. Mardicos quickly snatched him and threw him to the side, a low growl echoing from his throat, one eye becoming an icy blue.

“I am in no damn mood to watch two idiots fight because of a pissing match! Shut up, sit down, and don’t move from that spot!”Mardicos snapped powerfully.

Goldergon sat up and eyed Mardicos in confusion, then laughed, mocking the man. Mardicos waved dismissively at him, turning to check on Lucitius. Lucitius’ laughing ended with a groan and he fell unconscious. Mardicos rolled his eyes, his mood souring even more.

“I’m not even going to ask what happened to him. It’s just going to piss me off even more,”Mardicos sighed.

“I poisoned him and helped tear off all of his scales,”Goldergon replied.

Mardicos sighed irritably and glared at Goldergon, then walked over to a nearby bench and sat down.

(Yes, this happens a lot to Lucitius. Even though he heals fast, he doesn’t have a very high pain tolerance. So, when this happens, it’s like his mind glitches, so he can cope with the pain)

"This isn't 'death magic'," Felix growled. "It's something only demons or angels know, not a mortal elf like you. The term is something like 'passing magic', where we deliver the dead to the afterlife. I am merely communicating with his soul." Felix sighed.

"Alright, everybody OUT OF THE WAY." Asuka says this in a very commanding tone, a tone she rarely, if ever, has had to use. "Alright, I need you to tell me what goddamn poison you used, Goldergon, because if you don't, you'll find that I'm not always so kind to murderers." she has walked right up to Goldergon now, holding a knife in her right hand and a faintly smoking vial in the other.

"Did you know that, when concentrated, the void is a powerful poison? If you are the unlucky victim of this particular… version… of it, you will first experience pain. Don't say anything. I know you don't understand what I mean, but I assure you, it is not pleasant. Next, even if you are very, very resistant to things messing with your mind, it will cause hallucinations, and eventually, once those end, you will be paralyzed for the next 3 hours. Unable to move, when those three hours end, you will simply melt into the void. Gone. Now, tell me what I want to know, and you won't die permanently. Again." she has been speaking in Goldergon's ear in a low, threatening tone, with the dagger right up against his throat, the vial in her other hand, poised above his head, ready to tip it over.

To Felix she says, without looking away from Goldergon, "I am not mortal. Do not speak of things you do not know. Now, let me heal Lucitius without being interupted."

(I know this conflicts partly with her profile, but she is very, very scary when she needs to be. She does not like it, however. She's just already had enough of Goldergon. And a little mystery has to be here in regards to what Asuka means by "I am not mortal. Do not speak of things you do not know." After all, I imagine Goldergon, Lucitius, Mardicos, Felix, Rue, Tsuki and Toky have some secrets of their own.)

Goldergon licked his lips, glancing at Lucitius, then at Asuka. A grin appeared.

“It will only affect one form. Besides, if I merge with the void, whether partly or completely, it will mean that you have made me far more powerful. We, Vanishers, have no souls, no true body, and are from a multiverse alien to everyone here. Try again, little she-elf, you won’t win so easily,”Goldergon cooed.

He dramatically snapped his fingers, a circle of black smoke appearing around the two.

“And I doubt your void would react well with my own,”Goldergon said with an evil grin.

Mardicos rolled his eyes, standing and heading out of the village. He had no patience for people.

Lucitius twitched, his claws digging deep into the ground. The claws of his other hand scraped together, blue fire igniting and slowly spreading across his body. He was unharmed by the flames, and even seemed to be relaxing as they engulfed his entire body. Where the fire touched the wall, it simply tilted away, not even charring the wood.

(Is Goldergon lying/bluffing, or is he not? That is the question. -Yes, I’m referencing Shakespeare with this question, I’m in a good mood)

"You know what? I am tired of this, Goldergon. Just tell me what the hell you used on Lucitius. Or else I might get… upset. Which is not something I or you want. If you've ever heard of light elves, you'll know that when we're angry, or just very emotional, things tend to get… explosive. So, do not take me for a weak, helpless girl." she snaps, now very done with Goldergon.

"Also, do not assume I am any mere light elf, Vanisher. You deal with something a lot more than a simple elf suffused with the energy of the sun, something much more powerful. Just look at my aura and you'll see…" she says this with a smirk, now done pretending she's just a timid, weak girl. "And for future reference, I would be very hesitant to assume that I can't kill all of you with this poison."

She looks over at Lucitius, and forgets about Goldergon entirely. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit…" she mutters. She rips off Lucitius's shirt, and gasps in shock: Nyx barely finished healing him. She moves her hands just above his chest, and starts murmuring a spell, shaping the words of it into a simple elvish lulaby. As she casts the spell, a calm silence descends, along with a warm, golden light. The wounds on Lucitius' chest start to close. And Asuka manages to delay the progress of the poison, only for long enough to force the information out of Goldergon.

Goldergon snickered as Asuka rushed off to help Lucitius.

“Hmm… ‘all of you’, so fitting, and yet not. I could care what you are. You are merely another potential victim on a long, long journey. And, are you so willing to kill yourself just to kill me? Believe me, I’m the least of your problems. I don’t hide my nature, Lucitius… is afraid of his. You should worry about him, not me,”Goldergon chuckled.

As Goldergon spoke, Lucitius started to stir. He moaned slightly, seeming to enjoy the sensations from Asuka’s healing spell. A quiet rumbling echoed from his throat, a noise that can only be describe as a deep purr.

“You always know how to wake me, mine love,”he mumbled.

He stretched a bit, seeming to bask in the blue fire and Asuka’s healing rays. His features became somewhat muddled for a moment, the fire burning away the still healing scales and revealing fresh scales underneath. The wound quickly heal, and his claws started bleeding a strange grey liquid.

Lucitius moaned again and finally opened his eyes. They glowed softly in the light of the dying flames. He didn’t seem to notice Asuka as he stared to the side. His purring continued.

Goldergon scowled breifly, but watched patiently, a grin widening his face. He quickly started laughing.

Meanwhile, Mardicos wandered out into the forest, roaming aimlessly as he usually did. He had long ago left civilized society, and his instincts had gone wild in his years of solitude. One wrong word could potentially set him off, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with that pain.

(Yes, I know I probably just made it really awkward for Asuka. It’s only going to get worse, evil grin. Nothing weird will happen though, just a lot of confusion)

(Asuka can prbly handle it… prbly. Honestly, I would like to see where this goes. Grins)

Asuka smiles at Lucitius' words and purrs, while also staring at the dragon's claws and rapidly healing wounds. She suddenly blushes and looks away.

"Stop it, Asuka." she tells herself, as her magic continues healing Lucitius. And yet, she seems incapable of stopping the flow.

She feels something change in Lucitius' mind, like pieces clicking together to form a complete picture. Stunned, she finally is able to stop the magic, and ponders whether or not that was her or Radiant. And she tentatively probes Lucitius' mind and aura, finding the two entities at peace, truly, not in pain anymore.

And then, with that, Asuka falls unconscious, still marveling at what she had done and thinking of Lucitius' reaction to find his mind and his partners mind flawlessly joined and healed.

(You’re good, plus it’s fun to experiment. And, in regard to Lucitius, one must take into account the fact that Lucitius doesn’t remember being sane. Inevitably, he’s going to feel like he’s gone insane, and will freak out, regardless of the end result)

Lucitius groaned drowsily, wiping a hand across his face as his thoughts seemed to rearrange themselves. He stared up at the sky in complete confusion, letting his mind wander for a moment, curious.

“Synthia, mine love? What did you do? I have never known such clarity in mine life,”Lucitius asked.

He laid there for a long time, marveling at how clear his mind was. Never, in either life, had he felt so much at peace. What gift was this?

Lucitius breathed in deeply, but paused in confusion. He couldn’t smell Synthia’s lovely scent, but he was surrounded by others. Where was he? Why was he?

As Lucitius glanced around, Goldergon stood up and approached Asuka. He crouched next to her, his face very close to hers, his eyes wide and his teeth bared in a vicious grin.

“It’s me again, Radiant,”he whispered.

Goldergon stood up, laughing hysterically, and wandered off, jumping around happily, wondering how Asuka would react. He then teleported, hand lunging at her throat.

Lucitius flicked a finger, a wave of forceful energy suddenly throwing Goldergon into, and through, a building across the street. Lucitius sat up, looking around in confusion, his eyes focusing on Asuka. His robe knitted itself back together, leaving no mark that it had been torn.

“Synthia?”

Lucitius stared, frozen in absolute confusion. Was this Synthia, his dearest wife, or someone else? How could he tell? Who was he now? What was he? What madness had possessed him for so long?

“Synthia, where are you?”he pleaded, looking around nervously.

---

Mardicos, bored and irritated, decided to answer the call of his beast, despite the pain it would cause him. He had no idea of the moon phase, but it wasn’t the first time he had morphed on a strange time.

He leaned against a tree, breathing deeply. Then, his body tore and snapped, growing thick fur and canine features. His screams became snarls, and the massive wolf soon bolted off toward the village, drawn by the smell of blood.

(Honestly, I should have thought of that…)

"Hmmmm…? Who's… Synthia?" Asuka mutters, completely oblivious that she had passed out and fell onto Lucitius' chest. She suddenly becomes wide awake, and starts sammering an excuse as to why she had fallen asleep on his chest.

"I-I um… I just healed you, and it took a lot out of me… I think… I think that I… or rather, Radiant… healed your mind… I honestly don't know." As she says this, she notices the cloud of dust from the building Goldergon had flown through and immediately realized what had happened. She immediately throws up a solid barrier of radiant light and energy, knowing it's too late to hide her powers.

"And as for who and where you are, you are Lucitius, the Great Protector, the Blue Angel. Who you've been. And you are in a dark dimension, where I've come to find the source of magical disturbances that ripple across worlds. And where you came by mistake. I do not know where Synthia is, but I'm sure she is perfectly fine." she says, as an explanation for Lucitius.

And she also senses a… beast? Human? She honestly can't tell which. But what she does know is that it is heading towards the village, fast.

Lucitius stared at her, seeming not to notice that Asuka had slipped into his lap as he had sat up. He just stared, completely bewildered.

“I know who I am… I hope… though I thank you for the explanation. Who is Radiant? And how can anyone heal mine mind? I cannot heal it, yet I am likely the most powerful being in mine multiverse! How?”he burst, still confused.

Lucitius leaned against the wall, staring ahead as he tried to figure out what to do. He was oblivious to his hand on Asuka’s belly, gently holding her down on his lap. He also didn’t notice that he still purred.

Goldergon stumbled out of an alley, coughing and patting his dusty limbs. His clothes were torn, and he had several healing scratches scattered on his body.

“Damn you! You know how long it takes to mend these clothes?”Goldergon shrieked.

Lucitius glanced at Goldergon and rose an eyebrow in disdain. He then looked off to the side as he heard fast approaching paws.

A massive black wolf with ice blue eyes, as long as Lucitius was tall, bolted past and leaped at Goldergon, tackling him in the blink of an eye and taking half of Goldergon’s neck in one bite.

Goldergon howled and vanished, reappearing as Ehvara on the roof of the building he had been thrown through. She rubbed her neck, watching the pacing wolf cautiously.

The wolf watched Ehvara for a moment, iridescent purple blood soaking his lips. He then started to circle, looking for potential victims. He seemed to ignore Lucitius and Asuka.

"Wow…" Asuka breathed, completely entranced by the pelt of this creature. She calls out to it, hoping it will answer, knowing that Mardicos probably won't come.

"Also, you underestimate mine own power, Lucitius." This was a different voice coming from Asuka: high, pure and clear, like a bell ringing on a warm, sunny day. "You forget that there are angels and arcangels in any world. I have chosen Asuka as mine host, for I cannot have form for very long otherwise. With a physical anchor to a world, I can accomplish so much more." And Asuka stands up, looking different: Golden eyes. Radiant's eyes. The eyes of an arcangel.

"Now, what shall you do with mine gift, Lucitius? Will you accomplish good, or will you become like Goldergon: a cruel, violent being of power?" She asks this knowing Lucitius' answer already.

(Did Radiant pick up Lucitius’ accent?)

Ehvara hissed angrily at the sight of Radiant, but didn’t move from her perch. Mardicos turned at Asuka’s call, but huffed and continued to circle. He then finally sat down, sniffing the air and licking his lips. His ears listened close to every sound in the area.

As Radiant stood, Lucitius watched and casually stretched his legs out, his purr fading to silence. It did sadden him a bit that she had gotten up, but he didn’t want to admit it. If Synthia ever found out that another woman had been in his lap, she’d throttle him. Though… he always enjoyed a little rough treatment.

Lucitius quickly pushed those thoughts aside, scratching the back of his head nervously and hoping that Radiant wasn’t strong enough to read his mind, even with his defenses. He chuckled slightly, before finally realizing that Radiant was talking.

“As I said before, Archangels were driven to extinction long ago in mine multiverse. You are officially the first one I have met. Also, I have surpassed all of the tiers of gods that exist at home, with the exception of the primary deities, a rank that has been unoccupied for eons of eons. I know no one else that equals me…”Lucitius trailed off, looking away momentarily with a melancholy gaze. He almost seemed like a lonely child in that moment.

He then looked up at Radiant again when he heard her question.

“I have spent mine entire life hunting creatures like Goldergon. I am loathe to join their ranks. Yet, I am uncertain if mine actions would qualify as good. I may be called Blue Angel by some, yet I am no angel,”Lucitius answered.

“Coward! All of you are cowards!”Ehvara abruptly cried.

“Then fight, Vanisher. We are waiting,”Lucitius called back.

Ehvara hissed, hesitating, then teleported. Lucitius flicked his finger again, and once Ehvara appeared, she was thrown through the same building again. An amused grin curved Lucitius’ lips.

Mardicos stood up and wandered into an alley, where a feminine howl proceeded a harsh snarl. Moments later, Goldergon reappeared on the roof with a flustered expression, once more in his typical form, his neck mostly healed. The wolf trotted out of the alley, munching on a chunk of flesh.
