An alarm sounded in the god's very soul. He immediately took to flight, arcs of shock and vortexes leaping from his elemental wings. Carefully, he circled the area, seeing that one of the old gods, a demon from the rift, had been set free. A trickle of fear filled his heart, but his expression was set in determination. Solidly, he landed into the fray of morals, his height and stature not exactly intimidating, but the piercing, ancient blue of his eyes promised knowledge of the universe.
"Do not make me force you back into your cage, demon..." he growled tightly, inhaling and summoning a thick cloud of shock around his body. It crackled and jumped into the air, lifting the hairs of those who were around him.
Carefully, he glanced at Kirottu and the cold, mildly aware of Belial's essence in the general area. "You know not what you have done..." he murmured.
With a sudden howl, a battle began between the two ancient creatures. This was not a battle for good or evil, but for power. Light and darkness did not exist in absolutes, for even the gods held the taint of selfishness and immorality in their hearts.
Swipe after pass, the two raged, the god of time slowly pushing the demon into the rift. Then, he was knocked from the sky, the power of his wings flicker and failing as his compact body crumpled on the ground. Blood trickled from a gash on his shoulder, and he limped into action, finally forcing the demon into the void with a final yell of power before his voice failed.
The rift sealed itself behind him, and the egg stayed on the ledge, sitting there perfectly unharmed.
With a heavy sigh, the god closed his eyes and looked upon those gathered. "Do you understand why these rifts are bad?" he asked. "Time runs in multiple dimensions and many different realities. On occasion, two dimensions will line up so perfectly that the membrane between our world and theirs can coexist. This poses its own problems, but there are demons, monsters that live between worlds in the depths of space, cast out for their tyranny and cruelty. That was one of them," he explained, the god bleeding.
"You all have been touched by his presence and may feel the repercussions in days to come." He explained.
Then, he glanced down at the orb. "This is what you were wanting?" he asked. The good shook his head. "Fight it out among yourselves."
However, Belial was already close, the closest yet, hidden from the powers of the demon and graced with the distraction of battle. For these very reasons, he was already in possession of the orb, already its caretaker. All he needed to do was return to visibility and claim his prize.
Congratulations to Belial for using ingenuity and stealth to capture the egg! Please tell the admin in the character records update what you want, the powers, and the name once you have decided.
EDIT:: Caenan, Belial and Kirottu have all been "cursed" by the old god with dark magic. Basically, they now have a temporary magic until JUNE 1st to be able to sense rifts in the dimensions. So, these characters can know who is a doppleganger and whose magic is being taken the opposite way.
