The Aftermath (EVERYONE)

[Deleted]

He ignored Romal when he moved away, hell if he didn't want help that was his problem. Working with fast nimble hands he cleared Caine from all of the splinters then helped him up along with Vaughan. Taking the other arm he rested Caine against his shoulder.
"I ran past people who seemed to be where a garden once stood, should we go there?"

When they arrived near to the others he slowly let go of Caine letting him test his weight for a while before he properly moved away.
Looking to Vaughan he frowned at the last comment the male had made to him.
"A lot more then you think"

[Nataku]

Nataku only nodded slightly at her instructions, his memory now recalling the mentioning of fleeing towards the mountain to those who did not wish to stay and fight. He then turned his head to where the mountain was and with a quick and sudden launching of his flying wheels, he took off in a roar, on his way to the party where the mountain was.

The wheels spinning with blinding speed propelled him through the air quickly towards the mountain and when he had arrived, the wheels stopped as well and the once airborne Nataku landed with an explosion of dirt, leaves and all manners of forestry that were in the mountains immediate vicinity.

Nataku walked out of the crater in a quick fashion towards the one named Ajax and when he came into eye shot, called out to him. "Has everyone been found?" his stride towards the mouth of the cave not breaking

[Damien Sevar]

Destruction. Chaos. Screaming. Sobbing. Blood. Decay. Death. All of it and more filled the air around Damien as he stood watch over everyone. Keeping off to the side to ensure if anyone needed his help he would be able to help them swiftly. His eyes narrowed at each member, taking in their appearance. Their wounds. He was proud of this Coven. Of these mismatched beings who, at any other given point in time, would not have been found near each other. He had not said a single thing since he had left the Estate before it fell to the ground.

When he finally moved it was towards the rubble that was around. Picking up trinkets that had belonged to the members. Anything not destroyed in the fury of the fire. A necklace with fur on it, he believed to belong to Jinx. The further in he got amongst the rubble the more he was finding. He picked up what he though were rubies. He placed many objects around his wrists and into his pockets. Once they were full he walked outside and placed everything he found neatly on the concrete benches in the garden for members to come and find. After that he walked over to Sauri, kneeling down next to her as though he were a knight kneeling down to his queen. "Sauri, you have done very well to this coven.."

[Ceverus]

Cev had been sitting in silence, the freshly departed souls sitting around him unseen to anyone but himself or any who had such abilities to see them as well. As he sat he smoked cigarette after cigarette, trying to dull the edge of what had transpired these past three days. Being at the front end of the initial assault, he hadn't seen how the others were faring, only his next victim to be taken off the battlefield. He had, however felt whenever another member of his adopted family was wounded, it haunts him as he sits, staring off into space.

After a moment he rises again, turning to the souls that gathered around him, his back to the others so as not to show what he was feeling at present, he allowed a single tear drop from his left eye. He speaks in the shadow tongue to the waiting souls saying how sorry he was that they had to make the sacrifices they made and how, at the same time, appreciative he was for that sacrifice before going on to say that there would be a place for them to rest within his Ziggurat, unable to bring himself to consume them. He wipes the tear streak from his soot covered face before turning again and going to find if there was anything he could do to help.

[Ari]

Moving free of Jinko's arms and looked around, he had seen what Damien had been doing and saw the necklace he knew Jinx loved dearly as he moved over to Jinx's side and placed it beside her, nuzzling her with a soft whine, glad that she was okay.

He then moved away and sat by himself, looking at what used to be his home was now nothing, nothing stood where it had been but chared ground, he dug at the ground with clawed fingers, drawing what he remembered of the coven in perfect detail before getting up. "Home gone, others gone. What now... Where we go." He didn't understand why the war had happened nor why his home had been taken away once more as he just stood there staring at the sky, asking over and over.

[Ajax Matashina]

The noise of the crated being created made him spin around Lai still within his arms but he readied himself to put her down and fight his metallic eyes flaring until he saw who the being was, eyes dulling again he looked at the creature Nataku and nodded slowly.
"I do not know, I think more then we have acounted for did come up here to the mountains, I only hope they have found their way back to the others"

[Nataku]

"Lady Sauri said that not everyone had been found. I am to remedy this." he stated blankly as he made his way to the mouth of the cave. He stared far into the blackness and after a silent pause, he called back as before. "There is one more within." he called and entered the cave, walking as fast as before towards the apparent scared girl, although Nataku was unable to sympathize with her, having no emotions and unable to feel anything.

He approached the scared girl more slowly, knowing that fear was a very real possibility with her and bent down on one knee and held out a heavy hand, gauntlet gracing his wrist. "Come with me. I am to take you to safety."

[Nika]

Vivid emerald eyes blink at the robotic man. Swiftly she jumps from het position and clutches onto him. "Where is Ventress? Is she okay? Thank you...I'm Nika. What the hell was all of that?" She asks in a jumble of thoughts and confusion. Never has sheeexperiebced anything like this.. "I'm sorry...ill be quiet."

[Nataku]

"She is back at the compound. I believe she is fine due to the second succubus. We were attacked by what Lady Sauri called 'The Ancients.'" He answered all of her questions that she had asked in her hysteric state. With her clutching him, he picked her up easily and walked with her outside to where Ajax had been before. "Only this one was left behind." he stated blankly when he arrived to their position

[Ariana]

Mandre moved from her side when Damien had walked out of the building and was placing objects along a concrete bench. The falcon landed on the bench and picked out four rubies that had been removed from the ashes of the Coven. Soon taking flight and heading back over to Ariana. He dropped the rubies into her lap before landing on her knee which she had propped up to rest her left arm over.

"Thank you Mandre..Thank you Damien.."

She whispered and stroked the falcon breast feathers. When she heard rustling in the bushes behind her, she turned her head as a small kit had stumbled out next to her. She sat up and reached out to the small fox. Allowing it to approach her which it quickly had. Ariana soon realized that this kit had been fed by the adult whom had been following her before the attack. The fox waited a few minutes before it curled up next to her.

"I know..Me too..."

She whispered to the animal.

[Darcassan]

Darcassan nodded to Kenshu and Miranda, he couldn't keep it up anymore and it had served it's purpose he fell back and whiped the blood from his lips as he just lay there for a few moments looking up at the sky, thinking to himself.

A few minutes later he would sit up, even though he had spent almost all of his entire life source healing the others thanks to the help of Kenshu and Miranda it hadn't killed him which he was grateful for as he just sat there, slowly getting his energy back now that the others had been healed, sadly not all were alive and that hit him harder then he dared let on.

[Kenshu Death]

Darcassen moved away from her hands leaving her silently watching him for some time. Until she broke out of her mind state. Looking over herself she made sure the blood which covered her was not her own. She had made it through the battle without a single injury other then a few abrasions to her knuckles.
Having killed dozens she still seethed she had not slain more. Folding her arms she sat there for now ignoring the spirits who's words scratched away at her skull.

[Cerverous]

Cerverous stood hunched and heavy great gasps of breath. he was tired. exhausted. he was saturated in his own blood, long dried from the point that he was unable fight and heal gashes of red crystal dotted him where he had been wounded and too pressured by combat to heal properly, patches of black scales grew over his skin as a foreboding side effect from extended high intensity use of his Abyssal powers and his right hand wrapped in a nearly untouched bandage.

his vision flashed as he remembered. on day two of the battle hed found himself separated from the main line in pursuit of a group of supposed retreats. deep in the city was where he found himself when the creatures had been caught and disposed of. when he turned his back to leave they stood again but were now entirely different. black in their entirety, and without blood or a dictated physical shape though they favored one, his. Cerverous had found himself ambushed by a squad of attempted clones of himself, created entirely for the purpose of fighting him. and hed assumed other such plans had been made for the more powerful members of the coven.

at first there were over ten of them, and now, there stood two before him. the combat had shifted locations multiple times. they were now in a remote part of some far off mountain range. snow fell heavy around them and black stuctures of violently twisted Abyssal matter scared the landscape. almost his entire collection of katanas was there too, whether broken, discarded or protruding from a body, explained by the multitude of portals leading to his room on nearly every individual surface.

he took one deep breathe and ooked up just in time to sse both of his opponents disappear and disappeared himself, thus begining the attacks. the fight was of the highest possible speed. shockwaves erupted everywhere from the colission of their attacks. black spiked tentacles spawned from everything and shot at there targets. then, it happened in an instant, one of the clones found itself impaled on a spike that expanded into a quill toward his companion on the exiting side of its victim. Cerverous appeared, shoved his right hand, now a solid black claw, straight through the first ones spine and out its chest. and both of them imediatly began teleporting each other in a desperate grapple that ended on the ground with the clones head separated forcefully from its body.

[Delyla]

Hanging onto Baldur she buries against him. Her ankle screaming in pain she clings to him for dear life, having no idea whats going on. "Baldur, where is everyone...what happened?"

[Baldur]

Baldur leans down and kisses her forehead, glad that she was ok. "There was an attack. Most of the coven's territory is in ruin...people have died. It all happened so suddenly, I came when I could but the damage was already great. Jinko brought an army from Hell on the final day, I think that turned true fight in our favor." he says, setting her down where the others were gathering.
