When Iona had spotted the gathering she hadn’t been expecting the situation to devolve into something like this.  And that was saying a lot considering all that Iona had seen in her lifetime. Her first point of concern when the tiger-creature had emerged was her family.  She knew very well that Alysanne and Naerys were on this island.  However, when chaos erupted she found it almost impossible to see anything on the ground.  This certainly irritated Iona, and she ground her teeth in frustration as her green eyes desperately saught their mirror pair.   However, if she couldn’t protect her sister – she’d have to help expedite in eliminating the threat.
 
Iona had never missed her magic more than she did in this moment. That was one of the things that had gone when she had decided to join Aly here in Helovia.  Her elemental mastery of air had to go.  It was a sacrifice well worth making, especially since Iona knew that this land was infused with magic of its own.  However, to say magic would be useful at a time like this would be a gross understatement.  Especially when self-healing was among her recently-removed arsenal.   But it was too late to dwell on it now.  She flew a wide circle around the battlefield in time to see a variety of equines unleash all kinds of magic at the creature – but it was the fire-based attacks that Iona were most clearly visible from the air and caused her the most concern.  Even Her Magesty himself unleashed an impressive array of fire birds at the beast.  Damn, Queenie’s got skills, she thought, with no shortage of pride.
 
With fire raging all around the beast, Iona’s options were limited. What she really wanted to do was dive and aim for its stupid tiger head.  Unfortunately, stupid tiger heads also contained stupid tiger teeth and Iona preferred not to be introduced to that particular feature of the beast.  Instead, she opted for a more general approach since getting in and getting out as without being barbecued would be her primary objective, injuring the tiger-beast in any way would be a bonus after that.  But Iona had to try, especially with her family and her new herdmates around. 
 
She gained altitude in preparation for her attack, using the updrafts from the heat from the fires below to climb quickly.  She timed her dive quickly, relying her prowess as a flyer to remain in control during a high speed maneuver.  When other pegasi had cleared the scene, she dove –her wings pulled close to her sides and her legs tucked close.  As she grew nearer she could feel the heat from the fire, but continued anyway.  It was only when she neared the creature did she extend her wings and her legs to slow her progress just enough to strike the beast, hopefully across the back or ribs.  She then attempted to make a hasty escape from the battle zone – hoping to clear the smoke, flames, and potential friendly fire without incident and make her way back to the relative safety of the skies above.

I'll fight to survive through this thunderous life
without you by my side

The islands had been quiet for a couple days though you wouldn’t know it from the crowd that continued to linger there. Everyone was waiting for the next fight, waiting to see what would come out of that other land next and pick a fight with the Earth God and all those that stepped in to defend their god and home. And sure enough, when everything seemed peaceful, chaos broke out once more. This time, in the form of a giant tiger. It seemed to be leeching a black substance onto the surface of the earth that instantly brought to mind the dragon that Mesec had helped along with the other demigods. Was this just more ink? Another escaped creature?

It felt like all of Helovia was massing toward the tiger god, and that the entire world was on fire. Everywhere Mesec looked, there were flames - new sources being poured onto the tar and tiger and it stopped him from feeling the need to dive in and join the fight right in the thick of it. Surely the flames would consume the creature. That was, at least, Mesec’s plan - he’d linger on the edges and make sure that the healers and everyone that wasn’t fireproof was staying safe - but then he spotted Zero as the yearling was dashing forward. What was he doing?

“Zero!” He shouted when he noticed the colt going into the thick of it, swallowed up from sight by the flames and the bodies crowding around. There was no further lingering

Gathering the shadows around him, Mesec disappeared from where he had been watching the chaos to closer to the tiger, exactly where he did not want to be. The heat from the fire was intense but he only focused on finding the brown and blue colt - easy enough. What right did he have to tell the colt to get out? He wanted to, though. He wanted to shout at Zero over the noise around them and push him to safety. “Need a sidekick?” He asked the colt instead with a grin, hoping that both tone and expression were light-hearted, as he focused on getting between the colt and the tiger, while watching for a chance to get them both out before they got licked by flames or claws.

I have loved the stars too fondly || To be fearful of the night
____________________________________________________________________

Words, unfortunately, are usually nothing more than words. Agreements rarely truly ensure peace, and this was no different. The starry warrior knew this. Battle had ensued with the great crocodile god, and the same violence was easily predicted from this deity of the rift. A great tigress, oozing from her stripes black that seemed to mirror the illness that had plagued the Helovians after the second rift opening, emerged from what seemed like nowhere. Her promise was broken glass from the beginning, and to believe that peace would follow those from the rift was foolish and naive. They exchanged words, booming like thunder, war cries to open the symphony of battle.

The ground shuddered beneath the girl's hooves, and violence erupted around her. She stumbled back, off-balanced from the quake. Once again, the herds joined together to protect their land. But, as she did last time, the cobalt mare stood back, watching the goddess, looking for a weakness. There was something volatile and strong and perfect about the goddess, but Ki'irha knew her valiant efforts would be futile against the droves of Helovians. She would succumb as the last three gods had. At least, that is what the blue assumed. She had no way of knowing the agreement that had been forged prior to the rift opening. But desire and greed were dangerous things, and led to the downfall of many.

Flames took to the pelt of the mighty tiger, her tarry stripes combusting into vibrant flames. Ki'irha new nothing of tigers, but if they were anything like the mountain lions she had crossed paths with before, there were quick and agile and tipped in claws and teeth that could tear into the toughest of hides. The soft underbelly held plenty of weaknesses, but getting there was the problem.

Silver scanned the battle, eyes narrowed and focused. Many of the group fought independently of one another. Hooves and horns aimed for any spot they could reach, and magic shook the earth and rained onto the large feline. Perhaps if the tigress fell, they could all aim for the softness of the stomach, break the sternum and have better access to the heart and lungs. Ki'irha lunged forwards, joining the fray. She leapt, front hooves landing on the earth, adding her own earth-shaking magic to that which seemed to radiate from another. Back hooves met the ground, and her haunches coiled and released, driving all the force she could muster towards the ribs of the god. If her aim was true, she could help topple the beast, or at least break a rib or two. Something, anything, to conquer the god.

Her tainted vision had actually been an asset in the fight with the crocodile god, but in this fight it seemed there would be no such advantage.  The crocodile had been easy to spot amongst the warm sands of the flats because his body temperature was many degrees cooler than the sands and all the equines surrounding him. 
 
This wasn’t the case with the tiger-god.  While she was, obviously, tiger-shaped it was incredibly difficult to pick her out amongst the throng of equines.  Things only got worse when fire was introduced to the picture.  It only took moments for the already warm shapes of equines to be lost in the wavy heat of the fire.  Soon the picture before her was nothing but an indistinguishable wall of heat painted in every shade of yellow and orange and red and white. 

The flaxen found herself utterly overwhelmed.  She wanted nothing more than to help, but without her eyesight, she couldn’t locate a safe path to the tiger through the flames.  Moreso, she worried about using her sword in such conditions for fear of  injuring someone else and exposing them to the blade’s toxins. That’s the very last thing she wanted.   She paced, her discomfort evident, looking for any break in the heat and flames. Najya thought she saw a break in the flames and thought she caught a glimpse of a feline shape amongst the vivid colors, but before she could launch herself through the opening a shape that was defnintely familiar materialized from the fire. 
 
Lucius.  His shape was unmistakable, as was his behavior.  The zephyr was warding her away from what she had presumed was an opening.  He flew in short passes in an out of her field of vision, but close enough that she could feel the gentle breeze across her cheeks.  She backed, quickly, dipping her head in thanks to Mesec’s bonded. “Thank you, Lucius,” she added, aloud, for he deserved to hear her thanks.  
 
It was then that she caught sight of the young filly she had seen in the last two battles – clearly recognizable by her shape and her temperature - fighting from the outskirts from the battle with the enchanted bow given to her mother by the Sun god at the same time she had been gifted with one of the crocodile beast’s scales.  Perhaps if she couldn’t fight the tiger directly due to her clouded vision, she could at least do something to ensure no harm came to the filly.  Another came to the girl’s aid as Najya made her way over to the pair, wielding her sword from the wolf-god battle.  “You keep firing that bow, little one!” Najya nods to the grey Evaneska who has also taken up sentry duty. “We’ll do our best to keep you safe.” She keeps the child in the field of her compromised vision, but continues to scan the wall of heat – ready to jump in if a threat should materialize from the battle before them.             


TEAM EARTH
Can't see a damn thing because her GLL has turned her vision to thermal vision and there's fire everywhere so she's functionally blind. Tries to run into the fray but stopped by Lucius (permission to PP from Sarah). Sees @Erthë and @Evaneska and decides since she can't safely fight, she'll try to protect them instead.

After Maren had watched the Earth's encounter with his daughter, she had turned away, back to her boat. She would return to the Throat for the time being, even though she did not believe that this land would leave them without a fight. And so, since there would surely be one, Maren was going to do something she had not had had the chance for in the other fights: She would go home to get her armor. After that she would come back and wait it out.

And so that was what she did in the next few days as she felt how the silence and a strange kind of calm still prevailed. But it prevailed like a ghost as it pressed its heaviness on the awaiting earth. She wasn’t the only one, as any who was still lingering was aware of the coming danger. The question was when, how. What form would it have, what sacrifices would it take for them to win the battle? She thought about it as she attempted to find the shadiest places to get out of the hot, summer sun before she would end herself while getting fried within her metal armor… and she continued waiting.

Through the veil of mist the Islands lay brightly colored in sunlight, its water blue and shimmering as the reflections of the trees fell onto the glassy surfaces where the sea was still and calm. As she lay, Maren’s neck curved itself in a way so that her wings could just scratch the itchy skin underneath the metal of the armor Cera had crafted for her last summer. A year ago, time went by so quickly. A sudden noise made her head jump up and her ears jerk forward. It was that kind of hectic sound that was filled with the promise of chaos and sorrow no one was waiting for to hear, but yet… Yet something had managed to push them so that they were.

When had the world started to break, really?

She was jumping up to her hooves when the scent of a chemical burning started to jolt into her nose. With quick galloping hoof-beats she hurried to the source, hoping the voices of others and the sounds of action had not reached a deadly turn yet. There, her eyes got locked on what was happening within her frame of vision at that moment. Black tar lay in puddles around the trees and bushes, fires raged; came from everywhere and nowhere and in the middle of it all stood the False God with the form of a tiger. Her muscles had turned to stone as she stood there, but didn’t even really manage to process the fight that was going on; didn’t work her brain, like last time, to figure out what she could do to assist.

No—

Because she felt strangely sorry for herself, sorry for whoever she had talked into protecting their lands. For meanwhile she couldn’t, because she was such a terrible hypocrite. Why, of everything she had expected, why could she, the seer of the Throat, not even expect this.

And thus she merely closed her eyes as her thoughts struggled to gather themselves together from their chaotic state. Whatever the world wanted from her now, she could not do it; whatever the Helovian Gods would want them, the helovians, to protect, she could not do it. How could she fight a pretend-God that had the form of a tiger — for how? How could she know for sure it was not a God from her homeland (It couldn’t be). And yet, because of that simple, wispy thought that perhaps, just perhaps... it was true. She swallowed in the chemical smelling air that had started to mix itself with the mist. However much she was in Helovia now, Maren could not fight. Because, as the past was thrown at her, it did not matter what was now. Just like if it had been a goat— Even if a False God, I cannot fight it if it has the same form as the tiger gods of Deneb. So please don’t let me do it.







Summary: Maren gets in her boat to get her armor from home and then returns and waits. When the tiger appears MAREN CLOSES HER EYES AND BASICALLY PRETENDS THE WORLD IS A LIE, because she can't deal. So, even though she finally has her precious armor on, she doesn't fight nor protect. :c

Gull

The crossing had been brief but difficult, and between trying to keep his head above water and gasping for air around the coughs, Gull was thoroughly spent. His head ached more than ever now, and he moaned from where had had washed up on the beach. Worse, he had lost sight of his enemy. The dark unicorn had slipped away again, and given the limited oxygen in his lungs and the pounding in his skull, Gull had to wonder if he had not hallucinated the whole thing. Was this beast only a shadow sent to torment him?
 
The tide rolled in and crashed against his prone buttocks, then retreated just as quickly, dragging his two-tone tail out to sea. From somewhere beyond the dune where the downed pegasus lay, he could feel the thrum and vibration of many hooves, and the roar of voices in the distance was just loud enough to compete with the echo of his pulse in his ears. A battle, he presumed, just like the one he had come from. It wouldn’t be long now before some horned scout would wander this way and pick him off, Gull realized grimly, and he set his teeth and flattened his ears in resignation. He did not have the strength to drag himself into the fray, but he would be ready when they came. How, he wondered for what must have been the thousandth time, how had everyone been so blind to the danger that had lurked in their midst all along?

For a time, everything seemed peaceful on the new islands brought in by his herd's Patron God. The tension remained as many, including himself, refused to be lulled into a false sense of security. If the so called gods from this other place were as corrupted as everyone seemed to think, then it should come as no surprise when they attacked. So he lingers, hardly daring to budge from where they'd all gathered.

Good thing, too.

Blue eyes widen when he sees a tiger leap at the Earth God, claws connecting with his flesh and eliciting a cry from his lips. It was a sound more of surprise than pain and from where he stood, he couldn't see the blood trickling from a wound on the great God's shoulder. Even if his angle had been different and he'd been closer to the God, he wouldn't assume his magic would ever work on him. Yes, they could bleed. Yes, their magic could wound the foreign 'gods' and even kill them. But the foreign 'gods' aren't the source of their magic. Suddenly, though, the ground beneath his hooves begins to shake and boulders come tumbling across the battlefield like kicked stones. He stumbles, widening his stance ever so slightly to avoid falling over. Just as the initial reverberations, however, another less powerful wave follows suit.

And then the real chaos begins.

Everyone seems to spring into action, magic coming from all directions and being thrown at the tiger. He remains on the fray, his blue eyes first seeking out his daughter to ensure that's she's safe. Finding her with Alysanne, he then scans the battlefield for injuries when he hears the mare near the other healers ask for help. Summoning his light, he sends the small well-contained ball of light towards her and settles it in her head. There it grows both in size and heat - the soothing warmth should take away her pain though it only intensifies his own pain. As the light fades, he lets it go and his own headache increases causing fresh blood to trickle from his ears. Growing weary, he exhales a heavy sigh - hoping that this would be the last of the fights.

Suddenly, everything figuratively explodes and the predominantly heat toned figures begin to move almost frantically. The ground quakes beneath her hooves, unsettling her slightly before she managed to shift and gain a better sense of balance. She hesitates, waiting until she pinpoints the massive feline shape amongst the chaos before charging forward. But she'd been far enough back that she only manages to charge halfway across the battlefield before her vision flares from the flames - effectively blinding her from her target.

The dragonborn skids to a stop, muttering a string of barely audible curses under her breath. Well, shit. She can barely determine friend from foe due to her messed up vision. Her green eyes scan the surrounding area, catching sight of bodies outside of the heated center. At least they hadn't all converged into a massive pile in the middle. Though that knowledge doesn't help to ease her mind, much. Her determination wins out, though. She could smell Ghost in the crowd and a few others she'd noticed in passing but she couldn't tell where the alluring mare was. Regardless, the mare refused to stand there, a useless lump standing there on the battlefield.

The small but well-muscled mare is only temporarily frozen to the spot, her eyes narrowing in hopes of finding the creature when it moves but all she can see is a large, hot blob surrounding where she'd previously seen the feline. With a frustrated snort, the dragonborn aims herself towards the middle of the blob, lowers her head and charges in anyway. Fuck it. The mare hopes to impale the creature with her antlers. Where doesn't much matter, really. What matters is to feel the red tips of her antlers pierce the flesh of the beast. The heat increases the closer she gets but she just hunkers down and braces for impact.

WE HELD TOGETHER THE FRAGILE SKY TO KEEP OUR WAY OF LIFE

The small family unit left to explore after the initial encounter with the Earth God, and the filly was grateful for the distraction. Mother didn't question the blood staining her knees or the slight swelling on her left side, just in front of her hip. The wandered in relative silence and that was okay. The young girl wasn't ready to face her mother's wrath (or her aunt's if it came to that). The islands, she quickly discovered, were as fascinating as they were treacherous. Several times her wings had come in handy, especially when they decided to return to where they'd left the Earth God.

Standing near Alysanne, though not right beside her as that would be super embarrassing, the girl watched the Earth God. She watched as a tiger suddenly leaps from the brush, massive clawed paws swiping at the massive God's shoulder. And then it all happens again. Everything changes, everything erupts like a volcano and the girl can only stand and watch - teal eyes brimming with unshed tears. The girl fumbles when the ground shakes, squeezing her eyes shut to fight off the impending tears (and thankfully succeeding). Why did they have to fight? Why?

She sniffles softly, relishing in the feel of her large blooms growing around her hooves and brushing against her legs from the soft breeze blowing in from the surrounding ocean. Her hooves remain glued to the ground as she tilts her head up and watches as her aunt plummets towards the tiger - using the same move she'd tried on the crocodile in the Flats. Iona is larger, stronger and it gave Naerys hope. The girl hadn't done much damage with that same attack, only peeling back some of the crocodile's scales. The blood on her knees was a heavy reminder of that day. She watches as Mauja sends graceful and deadly swans of fire at the beast but she can only admire from afar. Frozen as much in fear of the tiger as she is in fear of what would happen to her mother if she even made an attempt to join the fray.

Alysanne
The crowd continued to grow around the Earth God and then dispersed, there being no more than words passing between everyone. Alysanne lingered though, having spotted Naerys though she noticed how the girl had pointedly not joined her side in the gathering, and together with Iona she had suggested that the three of them do some exploring. She noticed the blood, of course, and the injuries and they tore at her heart - but Naerys was becoming so independent lately, she wasn’t sure how to bring it up without frightening the girl from trusting her.

But their peaceful family excursion wasn’t that way for long - the Earth God returned and Alysanne stood with her daughter - watching in dismay as a giant, fearsome beast attacked the beloved deity. The crowd that had been gathered around him before seemed to return, was everyone just hanging around and waiting for the fight? As Iona would, she joined in almost immediately. “Be careful!” She called after her sister before turning to Naerys, fear striking right down to her core. What would she do if something happened to her daughter? Or if she tried to join the battle? “Stay here, please.” It didn’t matter to her how close the girl stood to her so long as she stayed close. No, that wasn’t completely true. As the fear took hold of Alysanne she wanted a comforting touch.

Her daughter was braver than her.

Other familiar faces joined in the battle she recognized so many of them. The dear members of her herd, and of her former herd. Miykael was there, of course, helping a pretty face. Almost everyone seemed to be banding together to fight the tiger alongside the Earth God and those that weren’t were already setting in to heal anyone that was injured. She wanted nothing more than to close her eyes and shut everything out but her family was surrounded by flames and magic as they fought a what, another god? She couldn’t afford to give way to the fear that was threatening to drown her the way it had during the invasion in the Falls.

When the fire started, Alysanne moved from her spot beside Naerys to stand in front of the girl, unfurling her wings to better extend what little shield her body could physically be should any of the flames make their way this way. She may not be brave enough to step into the flames and battle the tiger but there was no hesitation in her to do this - she could at least keep her daughter safe.

Somebody has to go polish the stars
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, right? Well, let's add one more soul to the legion of fools assembled here for the benefit of the God of the Earth. Kipling did not swim across the damn ocean to miss out on the Drama. He simply cannot miss out on this grand old time everyone is having battling some heathen god in a tar pit. Who wouldn't want to be there?!

Well, who knows what else he was doing on the Islands that Appeared Out of the Endless Ocean Void, because he has managed to be late to the party. His Labyrinth Lung-addled senses have not helped matters. Everything was a mess of hues of blue and red - some stationery, most moving erratically. Wildly heightened sounds might have helped in silence, but in the massive cacophony of this team battle, everything cancels out into a dull meaningless roar. So, to take stock of Kipling's peculiar situation: can't see for shit, can't hear for shit. Yes, little unicorn, I'm sure you'll make wonderful contributions to this particular fight. Without sight or sound to guide him, it took a good deal of fumbling around across the island to track down the war zone, but he showed up eventually. Sign him in to class with a "T" for Tardy.

It would have been a chaotic scene even with all the sensory acuity in the world. Without it, Kipling might as well have eaten his body weight in hallucinogens before showing up, for all he could comprehend. The burst of sound and shouted voices was quite literally deafening, like standing directly beneath the biggest waterfall in the world. Everything revolved around one central point; the tiger god serving as the red hot fulcrum around which everything else aligned itself. The ground trembled intermittently; flashes of heat and ice blinked strobe-like through his infrared vision. Piles of tar leaked and bled hotly across the blue earth.

No point standing around watching it all. Although Kipling could have done exactly that all day, he felt compelled to some greater purpose this particular day. His intuition was strong, especially in the absence of his other senses. Instinctively, he charged into the fray, attacking with speed - the only weapon he had any great skill in. He thundered his way across the battlefield, partially blind and totally deaf, doing his best to avoid the yellow and red figures that dotted his line of vision and swam across the ground beneath him. Angling his course to aim for that feline axis of evil, he bolted towards it, slowing down only enough to offer a swift double-barreled kick towards (what he could not see, but what actually was) the shoulder area. Then he tucked tail and attempted to gallop on out of range, where he could watch and rejoin as he was so moved. Another witless mortal cog in this supernatural machine of gods and monsters.

SUMMARY - Charges & tries to double barrel kick the Tiger's shoulder & bolt away.

Nothing can ever stay peaceful or quiet around here can it? I had heard the mud brown filly shouting about some feather and it belonging to her dead mom and wanting it back. I wasn't going to get involved, as it's not my fight. That is, till he stepped in. The prince of the Basin, Erebos. That of course caught my attention. He said the stallion.... had murdered one of ours? Oh hell no. Bitch gonna pay. You don't get to push around little girls or murder those that are family. I didn't know what to do, as he was much larger than I am. In battle, i'd stand no chance.

It's while i'm thinking my plan over that the Tiger God arrives. She and the Earth God go back and forth a bit before all hell breaks loose. Here we go again. I glance over as I see the mud brown filly moving about. I also take note of the prince motioning too. He's not seriously.... Oh hell. As the prince makes his move I focus on a place close to him, maybe off by just a few strides to the side. "Erebos! That portal is there if you need it!" Be safe my prince. With that I turn my own focus to the fight, charging wildly in with my glass horn lowered aiming for the jugular of the Tiger God. Let's end this quick, and bathe my horn in blood. The first time I would ever possibly draw the blood of another in battle.

"Sed interdum rutrum urna, sed pellentesque sapien tempor in."

Mirabella
x - x


Team Earth God/Get Abraham

Uses her portal magic to give Erebos an escape route if needed, before charging into the battle aiming to piece the Tiger God's throat with her horn


I'm braver, because I fought a giant and won.
I'm stronger, because I had to be.
I'm happier, because I've learned what matters.
I stand taller, because I'm a survivor.
