Turn 90
[1] As Pguhyuh stepped closer to the force field, Aaron approached him and gave him a large, blood red gem. Demonologist felt that there was great purifying power concealed within it, but the object refused to change owner! It seems that spirits watching over the stone, or living inside it, decided to not help Pguhyuh!
[Reynald: 3 +2, Darkfallen Cilber: 6 +2] Inquisitor charged at the fallen archangel who were on the ground with a mighty strike, but Cilber rolled out!
[5] Spectral Lysander throwed a childish, Dennis-alike insult at Cilber and got his full attention!
[Reynald: 3 +2, Darkfallen Cilber: 4 +2] Reynald promptly followed with a skullcrusher, greatly enhanced by a sacrifice off his own blood, but one swift move of a glaive blocked the attack! The Darkfallen stroke the ground with the shaft of his weapon and released enough force to push Reynald slightly back!
[1 +3] Just when the inquisitor was pushed away, Pguhyuh moved to the area in front of the altar, where the battle took place. It was nearly ruined by Reynald's and Cilber's duel, yet the destruction never reached the altar itself, as if it was protected by someone from above.
Ah, I see that my friend had returned, as always looking for answers! - the archangel welcomed demonologist with outstretched hands.
Let us cease hostilities and talk, and make it honest for once! - Cilber said strapping the glaive to his back.
[4 +3] Pguhyuh moved closer to the fallen archangel and asked his question. Why? Why did he cause this, why did he corrupt the chains, why did he create the undead curse? Was he jealous of the other entities? Was he angry for being weaker than the creator? What did he want to archieve from this? What was his goal? To create, to destroy or to change?
The answer is simple, my friend. Because such was my purpose, the destiny given to me by forces even greater than creators in the void! There never were even the slightest bits of jealousy in my actions! Can't you truly see? Just look at your draconic companion! The chains were corrupted and the abyssal curse brought upon the land as a sacrifice! A great sacrifice so that those potent enough could be set free! Free from the eternal slavery that is keeping you tied by chains! - Cilber exclaimed, golden embers shining in his eyes.
[Pguhyuh: 1 +3, Darkfallen Cilber: 6 +2] Demonologist attempted to persuade Cilber to leave his plans and accept his cleansing, but the fallen archangel was completely untouched by his speech!
[Pguhyuh: 2 +6, Darkfallen Cilber: 5 +2] Seeing that there is no other choice, Pguhyuh decided to sacrifice himself to empower his spell of grand cleansing. He kneeled keeping his head down. Something suddenly appeared in his hand - it was the red gem that previously refused to go with him. It seems that the spirits took pity on him and decided to aid him in his last moments. Pguhyuh's clutch on the Blood Omen was as strong as possible. Cilber had drawn his blade and prepared to deal a strike, to slash great diplomat's head off. Reynald immediately jumped over Pguhyuh in an attempt to attack, but Cilber dodged out. The two started their fiery dance, continuing their whirlwind of destruction while Pguhyuh gathered energy. All his memories, emotions, beliefs, faith and power contained within his items. Teardrops fell on the ground as beams of pale-blue energy shot out of Pguhyuh's body, tearing his flesh and evaporating blood. Yet Pguhyuh wasn't the only one that felt this excruciating pain. Fzbxr stayed with him till the end, and out of his free will, formed union with demonologist. After a short, inhuman scream, a powerful wave of energy shot out of Pguhyuh and fully embraced Cilber!
[4] Pguhyuh's sacrifice paid off well! Cilber was completely cleansed off all his taint and corruption, then exploded, releasing a massive wave of energy that cleansed the whole world! As it moved, undead, dark spirits and demons were turned back to humans! Everything that died, not only during the last few months, but in the entire history of Axewrath turned back to life! The taint of the blackened Sun had disappeared and a new morning dawned on everyone!
[2 +2] Serrana told Erlath, who had just materialised as a tall, handsome man in front of her, that she needs to find a shrine. Looking around, he replied that they are in a cathedral, which clearly means that they are in an enormous shrine! Looking around, Serrana saw that they are in the inner sanctum of the cathedral, just in front of the altar.
Axeworth casted Aaron and Lysander back, just before they were about to say goodbye to everyone.
Darkness. There is nothing but a frightening and cold embrace of death. Pguhyuh wants to shiver, to warm himself up, but he can't. He has no body, yet he feels cold. He has no mind, yet he thinks about the warmth of life. He has no voice, but he has to scream! Mere seconds in this emptiness feel like passing through dreadful eternities!
Alas, to live is to die! - a familiar voice echoed throughout the empty plane of death. Suddenly a bright flash of light warmed him up and freed him from torment!
You deserve so much more for what you did! - the voice said with empathy, almost crying. In an instant, a chariot made of sunlight appeared in front of Pguhyuh. A hand moved out of this beacon of light in a welcoming gesture, and without hesitation, Pguhyuh moved towards it. His body was back! Pguhyuh entered the light and saw a cloaked figure in blue, gold hemmed robes.
Hang on, we're off to take one more person! - the figure said and in a blink of an eye, the chariot stopped. Fzbxr had entered it and they moved on, to the high heavens! Far away from the void, from the binding chains! The figure turned back and it was no one else, but Jeremiah Nix!
It really is good to see you! - he said and hugged them both.
