Zacoria-The Return

[thefrozenhearted]

Darhin sent a flow of ice pouring out of his hands, pushing Gerold far back, and forcing him to drop him. He scrambled out of the way, and caught sight of Orion, far in the corner. He watched as he started to vividly glow, a bright blue flash ensued, he knew this was going to be bad, at that moment the barrier around them sudden shattered. Turning to Karei he shouted, "We have to get out of here!!" He started to run toward the opposite edge of the field where Arai was standing.

[Karei]

''But...Orion...''
Karei said, about to follow him but then stopping short. Swords still in hand, she looked around hurriedly for him. The explosion had left her confused, as she was not sure if he would of survived it or not, even if he caused it. After a moment she turned, despising herself for it, and hurried after Darhin. As the reached Arai she quickly mounted and waited for Darhin to mount, too. her gaze traveled to where Orion was supposed to be, but she couldn't see him as of yet.

Orion sat huddled on the ground his eyes distant as his body shuddered. The area surronding him was a huge smoking crater, Orion sat in the dirt smoke rising from his eyes, and the rest of his naked body. He rocked back and forth uttering some undetrimanable words. Electricity and unfocused energy flowed throughout the crater creating a unstable field of energy.
He stared through the field of energy rocking back and forth.
"Help....help....help me." He repeated this words over and over again.

Gerold stumbled back, shocked by the sudden attack, but was not fast enough to stop his brother and his friend from running off. He stood up to chase her, but stopped when he saw a gaint flash of blue, suddenly a giant explosion sounded, and he felt his body fly to the side, as bits started to rip off him. Blood poured down from his chest and his arms as he laid in a heap in the far corner, far out of sight of anyone, and he saw no more.

[Karei]

Karei stopped, turning and nibbling her lip. She shook her head and hurried back to where Orion was. Skidding to a stop, she slid down to where he was, stopping just in time of the field of energy.
''Darhin!''
She called out, turning around.
''I need some help!''

[thefrozenhearted]

Darhin ran up, stopping along side of her, "Orion?" He muttered as he saw him in the crater, he quickly made his way down the crater stopping short next to Karei, "What's wrong with him?" He asked as he looked thorugh the field of energy to where Orion was huddled. He wondered if he should dare to walk thorugh it, but decided against it, and stood where he was, thinking of how to use his magic to avoid touching the strange field.

[orion]

Orion rose his eyes suddenly focused. He stood his body naked and in strake contrast to his surrondings he was beautiful. A masterpiece. Orions eyes suddenly drew in the field of unstable energy. He opened his arms welcoming the energy. Hoping to contain the energy. He dusted himself off sparks departing from his body. He stood apparently not afraid of his nudity. He walked slowly towards the downed dark knight. He grabbed him the scruff of his neck lifting him off his feet. Staring him in the eye.
"Tell your masters...Orion has returned to claim what is rightfully his. Thern and Rael will bow to their king." He dropped the dark knight to the ground with a thud. Orion was exhausted he needed to rest to gather his thoughts. Remembering wasn't easy.

[Karei]

Karei blinked, watching Orion curiously.
''...Nevermind...''
She replied to Darhin for a second. She ran her hand through her hair, pulling it back from her face.
''We might need some more clothes though...''
She said, walking over to Orion.

[thefrozenhearted]

((Orion, Gerold is unconsious, so basically you just said that to him when he couldn't understand you, anyways, I'm not posting for him anymore in this thread. He'll be back later though))

Darhin shook his head in amazement as he watched Orion march across the ruined field, "He sure has no shame, I'll give him that. That's the second time I've seen him nude, its not pretty." He watched as Orion picked up his brother's weary form and said something to him. But he could not hear him. He watched as he dropped Gerold and began to walk back shakily, "I'll try to find some clothes, being in this warzone we can easily find some," He walked over to a corspe and stripped it of its clothing, being sure not to disgrace the dead, and then walked over to Orion with the clothing in hand.

[orion]

Orion took the clothes suddenly realizing he was naked..again.
"Thank you... when he wakes. He will return to his superiours and tell them a story of the return. The return of Orion. They will not believe him. And he will return and attempt to bring my head to them so that he is not disgraced. He will not succeed. So life goes on." Orion grinned putting on the ruinded clothes.
"I believe I have a thank you in order to both of you. I am sorry to keep you in the dark for so long. I have only recently remembered my birth. Come let us talk and rest. I am weary."

[Karei]

''I'm sure you are.''
Karei replied. She walked over to Arai, grabbing his reigns, and headed to the campsite. Arai laid down and stared at Kar expectantly. Rolling her eyes she sat next to him and laid back agaisnt his girth, head on his shoulders. Once they were settled she looked over at Orion curiously, waiting for some explanation.

[thefrozenhearted]

Darhin sat down beside her, looking at Orion in confusion, he spoke up, "So you mind telling us what this is all about? Who exactly are you? And why you dragged us here in the first place?" He leaned back, knowing that this would be a long story.

[orion]

Orion smiled Cody was right about him. He was getting bolder and brasher by the minute. He had a curious mind as well the world was full of wonders.
"I am the very first Colossus created by the gods long ago. The gods made me a promise, that I would live eternallly as the guardian of not only my race but of the world. When it was time I ascended and took my place in the stars, hoping my offspring would continue to keep the peace. I was wrong as it seemed my offspring couldn't handle the other races. Soon the countries of Thern and Rael unitied and attack my children. They nearly wiped them out by Cody escaped. He managed to kill the Circle's leader ending their eternal hunt for my people. But now the last of children are gone. I have returned to ensure this world's survival. I have come to protect the Golden Lands. Thern and Rael is where my people once roamed." Orion stared off.
"But they were pushed away onto to abandoned island. Now it will Thern and Rael running from me. No longer will I let my children suffer! I must reclaim my birthrites! I must find the ruins of my birthplace. I believe Thern and Rael has set up their actual kingdom around it. Their castle from what i understand is built on top of it." Orion turned to them hoping they understood. It was alot to take in.

[Karei]

Kar listened, her gaze softening. She ran her hand along the grass, noticing that Arai had fallen asleep during the tale.
''I'm...not sure that is exactly right. I know that Thern and Rael wronged you and your people by taking your lands...but then where would they go? There are innocents among them.''
She said softly, biting down on her bottom lip lightly.

[Father Luca]

In the distance a Priest was seen walking alone, Father Luca looked around and saw clear signs of chaos, "What has happened?" he said softly to himself.

[thefrozenhearted]

Darhin looked at him, "Are you saying you plan on going into the bulk of Thern and Rael and go to the capital? That's insane! You wouldn't make it out alive! You are strong, and your powers are great, but you can not take on a two countries, what happened here was just an example of what to come, the army that attacked was by far not Thern's and Rael's main army, they are much to wise to send their entire army against one small town, your powers are similar to Cody's right? Cody could handle this army, are you prepared to fight a army seven or eight times larger?" He shook his head, it made no sense to him, "If you really want to go to that castle, you can't go by force, you must use stealth. You must hide from the eyes of your enemy."

[orion]

Orion nodded he sensed another strong spirtiual force on the field.
"Indeed there are innocents. But to answer all your questions is going to take some time. I don't plan on destroying Thren and Rael only their unsacred fortress that lays on my birthplace. It will be then that the Colossus that transcended will return. Cody will be able to return to you. Although I will be no more, I will have furfilled my end of the bargain. And your absoultly right Dahrin, I would have to sneak in and even that wouldn't be easy. But it has to be done. My powers on the otherhand are very different from Cody's my blood is not tampered with Berserker blood. That was a indescrition on my children's behalf. And I do not command the spirits like they do, I am able to speak to them but I don't summon them for strength, I am totally reliant on myself. As for Thern and Rael's armies....I am not worried about them. I wish to avoid them until nessacary. Then I will send a message to the Forsaken Lands of Thern and Rael. I have yet to regain complete control of my abilities though. Commanding raw unbridled energy isn't easy. Its not like magic. And when you haven't been in the flesh for more then an eon, well that just makes it harder. I apologize about the explosion, I hope you two are okay."

[Father Luca]

Father Luca noticed Dahrin, "Dahrin!" he called out as he moved closer, "What has happened, what has caused all this destruction?"

[thefrozenhearted]

Darhin blinked, looking up, there was the priest from earlier, the one he met in the castle with Cody...what was he doing all the way out here? "Father? What are you doing here?" Forai is a long way away from the Golden Lands. He looked around, aware for the first time how odd his surroundings looked, dead bodies, still rotting littered the floor, and scattered weapons covered the valley floor as if it were a layer of snow, and all of them, himself, Karei, and Orion were all sitting at a campesite, where a large crater, the one that Orion had formed, could be seen in the background, "This is a battlefield, Thern and Rael attacked this town and destroyed it."

[Father Luca]

"I was in meditation near by for quite a few days," he said, "Oh...this is horrible." he said looking around.
