As the third super moon rises, hot on the halo of Asteroid 2014 RC, the world is once again watching the skies, not to mention at least one suspicious crater that seems to be an alien impact site.
The 39 ft crater appeared in Nicaragua, after an explosion lit up the sky, evidence of an asteroid drop by 2014 RC if ever I saw one.
Survivors have cordoned off the site and scientists are traveling to the site even as we speak to inspect it for evidence of alien cargo.
As the super moon rises. I’ll be among the supernatural suvivologists watching the crater for any suspicious glow or ooze.
But I’ll also be here, checking in on the site, researching the reports here on SOS for any activities that have occurred this super moon, looking for links, making the connection.
Basically everything I usually do for This Week In Survival except this time, looking over the whole month. If I can do it right this time, this may become standard operating procedure here at SOS. We’ll see. Survival is a process after all, not a sprint.
And if anyone survives, will there be a Supermoon Survivor of the Month?
Still unknown. Check in here tomorrow night to know for sure.
With Survival anything is possible… and er, unfortunately without it, there’s not a whole lot else…. That’s why it’s so important to keep on keeping on, supernaturally speaking. Sometimes survival demands a supernatural effort.
SUPERMOON SUPERSURVIVOR REPORTS:
…in progress as the super moon rises…
Níðhöggr Howls
–>> Pulled by the new Harvest Supermoon, a mysterious draconian named NIOHOGGR stopped by to report the pull on his latent lupinacy. Many survivors weighed in to help and explain. Even MORGENSTERN altho really was he just wanting to brag about his alleged god-like powers?
–>>Former Guardian Drache ASSANJIN determined Nio’s tortured lineage to be a descendant of the Drache Wulven, sealed by a undisclosed magical artifact to FENRIR who admitted the same artifact that tied them had sapped his powers. But can ASSANJIN regain his Drache powers this Supermoon with the help of others including VELANKO and keep MORGENSTERN at bay?
–>>While SoTMs LEAFPOOL and VELANKO concentrated on keeping the tortured drache wolf alive, he soon disappeared and was never heard from again. Tonight I hear howls from the tops of tall buildings and wonder if it might be him…
Leafpool’s Choice
–>>Faced with a choice of WW affiliations, SoTM LEAFPOOL first declined ERIS’ otherworldly offer with its many secret strings attached and chose FENRIR for her Supermoon survival spirit. Despite the intervention of ASSANJIN and others, ERIS was pretty irate, she must have had secret plans for her new acolyte. Anger that only subsided with FENRIR’s latest death led to her acceptance. And I think casting MORGENSTERN down to dance to his death with the other tortured soles helped too. Did Lilith send her another new recruit in WEREWOLFGIRL?
Demon Dealing
–>>After clearly spending too much time with NIGHTSHADE and the VOID LORDS, LILITH opened her own unauthorized supernatural IRS, basically taxing everyone for everything daring MR. MUTT and AGENT TL and even MORGENSTERN to stop her. What exactly was her currency because Cyborg Link appears to have paid with his life.
–>> A reminder to survivors that SOS has no power to enforce, endorse or eliminate any side contracts made between consenting Survivors, from LILITH’s ongoing Mr. Mutt blood sale to HATTER’s portal spells, negotiate at your own risk, your survival is no longer guaranteed 99.98%. Look what happened to REDFANG after he bought a portal from HATTER…

Intriguing, so the Super moon comes yet again. A simple tip for survivors(in sarcastic tone). If you find a crater full of fire, metal and glowing goo, don’t put it in your mouth, for all we know it can turn you into a zombie. I will have to see if I may study the stars on that night. Stars telling, many stories.
How delightful to dance under the moon, so close that from the mountain top close enough to touch it but far enough as for it not to fall.
In case of glowing goo, do not put in mouth or you may experience painfully being turned into a cosmic zombie(sarcastic tone). Or giving birth to alien offspring directly from the rectal cavity.
I’m particularly excited about tonight for many reasons, but I still can’t wait to see who the SotM will be. Good luck to whomever is chosen! Seriously, they’ll need.
And my comment is under moderation, for some odd reason. How strange.
Still wondering why my other comments are under moderation. Any rhyme to the reason, Seth?
Sorry, totally screwed up my e-mail on that last one. Please delete it, if possible.
Seth, if you don’t mind my asking, when is the day of the super moon?
Tomorrow
Thank you very much, I wonder who will be the new survivor of the month, I suppose time will tell but I find the suspense fun.
Not only is it a Super Moon, it’s also a Harvest Moon. So, ya know. Werewolves. Also, may I just state. This will probably be the moon of time-thieves. People who steal years from people.
SUPERMOON!!!!!!!!
I see the moon perfectly from where I am…maybe I’ll get a picture…you know all I have to look up at the sky and I usually find the moon at any time of day….odd….wonder why that is…
The moon is very captivating and yellow..tonight will be interesting
Yes it shall my friend yes it shall…
And the Blood moon shall be even more so..
Have you ever wonder what life would be like without color? There would be a lot of gray…
Angels are either black or white
Humans live a thousand lives
In the end we surely lie
Secrets that blend in to red
Things that kill us instead
Drying fingers slowly bleed
Always something you will need
Never forget your memory
Some will hide and some will fall
Before the moon wolf shall call
Trip into your own torment
And be shattered in the abyss
But don’t have mercy
And don’t have truth
For your demons will come loose
For reference to how it would be read the giver.
already have…I’m talking about what if we weren’t black and white all the time…what if we were gray instead…
Then we would not need eyes, what good are eyes in a world of a single shade, we would evolve to be blind and to have much better hearing. That is how it would be. But as for the giver….I love that novel.
It was a pretty good book…you should read gathering blue and messenger they are the sequels to the giver…I’ll admit I got mad at the ending of mssenger…I JUST DON’T KNOW IF HE DIES IN THE ENDING…it was just like the giver all over again…can’t tell if he died or not…
The author of the giver said that Jonah and Gabriel made it. So they did live happily ever after.
Nooo the author louis lowerly did not eleborate on then ending she kept me hanging…until she decided to make sequels so i read them and then i knew what happen…before that she wasn’t planning on making more books so we truly won’t know what really happen and what the real ending should be…
She did however say the ending depends on the person. If you wish them to die they die, if you wish them to live they live.
yes but what if you can’t choose? what happens then?
what if you simply don’t know how to end it?
The choice is ever present young one. One will always choose how to end a story even if one does not know how to end their story the events that fell before always lead to a single ending.
What if they don’t want to….why end a story when a new one is always popping up….shouldn’t a ending be a beginning and a beginning a end to a past life?
What of we don’t want it to end? What if a end was a start and beginning was an end? So how do things necessary end then?
Whether we want it to end or not, we end, we mortals die in the blink of an eye to you immortals. You can watch our lives go by and do absolutely nothing but laugh, death is never a normal worry to them. Everything ends so something else may begin. We do not wish happiness to end merely because we do not wish suffering to begin. This is how the cosmos works Nanuk.
But shouldn’t everyone realize there’s more than what they see….even immortals aren’t perfect….even they have problems they can’t solve… I see things most don’t and I don’t see things when most do…we are all born broken but slowly as we grow and become wiser we become wholer and wholer….although physically scars heal, emotional ones take a lifetime and for immortals that’s all the time till they cease to exist….immortals have plenty pain…but no one sees the real pain everybody is facing…
Suffering is a normal state, we are not born broken, we are born whole, it is the world that eventually breaks us so that we may put ourselves back together. Little children when born are the most innocent things in all creation, as innocent as flowers. But then they are corrupted by the poisons of ignorance, greed and jealousy which has lead to how the world is today.
Death is no pain, we are born to die, we are just as easily born as easily dead for it is our nature. Hatred is life’s true pain, so is greed and anger and cruelty. But we have solutions to these, love, generosity, peace, mercy. These are the virtues within ourselves.
Time for gray I suppose….
The moon is shining overhead, it spanned of autumn in yellow hue. The end of the harvest season it’s whence came old from the new. The springs and summers of our lives. As I bathe under the light of the yellow hue moon.
👿 I KNEW ERIS WAS UP TO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
What is it??
I do not find the fact that she is a being of chaos, does everything on a whim and simply grants anything “out of the kindness of her heart” or “because she’s feeling generous” bull shark!!!! She has something to hide in those deals she makes, which are “no conditions”. Why do you think I didn’t take her offer, or Lilith’s, not only because it could not be possible but because they have a history. Lilith I trust merely because she was once the mother of drache. I am not a hatchling that was born yesterday, I kept warning that there was always a hidden price. The price I do not but in Eris there is method to her madness.
I see..I shall stick with Fenrir, I have known of him longer after all..
Up to what? I’m not stable enough to stick to a plan for long even if I could formulate it. Unless I did stick to it
Why would you want Fenrir dead?
Simple, because she wants to, she is erratic and does everything on a whim. Method to her madness as I hear it is said.
Wow..hmm..well I hope he’s okay
I do love how Seth seems to think I’m the root of all Êvil. I mean honestly I’m only probably half of the root of all êvil.
Isn’t Lilith like the mommy of evil
She is fairly êvil. Not nearly as êvil as myself though.
If maleficent had a child with Hitler, then the child stomped a thousand puppies to death, stepped bare foot in a Lego factory, killed Santa by strangling him to death with a slinky, went down to hell and b$%$ smacked Samon himself and went to St. Jude’s children’s hospital to tell bald and cancer jokes the child would still only be half as evil as thee. ( It is unknown if this is my exaggerations or if he so happens to actually be this evil)
How did you know what I did this Monday?
Because, I killed Cthulu(mic drop) plus I have a way of knowing(was a random guess)
Except it was a 1000 kittens. I happen to like puppies.
I don’t like kitties, not as evil as stomping 1000 puppies to death.
*admires Morgenstern’s wings over Lily’s fireplace*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
*I frown and stalk off* Cortez?! Where are you? I could use a hand here.
Your wings were taken Nanuk?
“Viciously ripped off and then severed from my body with a liberal application of acid” would be a better term.
I…have felt the sting of having my wings taken as well. Painful, uneasy the first few days. But I felt the pain in here (points to the chest), not there(points to your back). And that pain is the worst kind. A drache is never broken until it’s heart cries a shattered tear. I am sorry for your loss, but I know you’ll be able to find a way back yo your wings. Keep going, no matter what Hell raises up or how you raise it up.
Seth Leafpool took my offer over Fenrir’s
dead – I put that word in there so you would have to read this
Seth Leafpool took my offer over Fenrir’s
death
Hail Eris,
I see I am once again behind the times. Thanks for the update. I will fix. But Eris come clean now, what are the favours you will oblige? I know you say there is not price but can we really be sure?
Thanks for keeping on,
Seth
Eris leaf pool didn’t change, nothing happen. why didn’t it work?
Same here
Most definitely the moon of time thieves… I just had to reap 3, 20 year olds for old age. Be on the lookout survivors.
My name, is Ichabod Crane. I came to this existence, through means of which I do not know. All I know, is I have no head. Though I am not dead. Seth, oh Seth, I am Reaper’s replacement, you see? I am afraid he failed, and perished indeed. Seth, oh Seth, I wish you would truly see. I am more than survivor, I was brought with Necromancy.
Just as headless as the dulahan are ye not crane. Funny that horseman’s sword kills anything it slices off permanently. Mayhaps you became the Irish coachman of death through special properties. Beware gold young dulahan, the poor bastards hate gold.
Aye, I am truly afraid of gold. But ye see, I am not like most Reapers, as I am Fae. That and I can use my head as a lantern, but that has nothing to do with this unless you count the fact that I saw 3 glob monsters, a werewolf, and a kitten on my way to the land of ash and bone. Speaking of which, you wouldn’t know any good housing in the area, would ye?
I’m not in your area mate, plus dulahan can’t stay anywhere. Ironic that now your weakness is gold when you have a teacher’s salary isn’t it?
Dulahan are fae you know that right?
“I am not like most Reapers, as I am Fae.” From my afore comment. As for not being able to stay anywhere, I really only have to leave on certain days, and I need a place to stay inbetween.
Well, you’d need somewhere isolated, where mortals will not find you, for the curse of the dulahan is that any mortal who sees you will die and must be slain by you. A house very deep in the wilderness with enough area to keep your carriage and your horses. A roaring fire place and an armory. Your best bet for this would be to live in the Emerald isle, land of the faefolk. I actually plan to move there one day.
In being a fae and a reaper you are a dulahan which is a kind of fae. They are one of two angels of death along with the banshee. The dulahan takes the souls away while the banshee warns of their demise to be prepared. Dulahan use their heads as weapons, lanterns and seat decorators, which I’ll be honest freaks me out.
Hello my lord!
*TL bows in a regal manor*
I trust you are here to take your rightful place as king of the reapers and of the land of ash and bone?
*TL whispers into Ichabod’s ear*
I swear if you are anything like the one before you we are all doomed, truthfully, I think I am more deserving of kingship then you but… I was not chosen as heir, you were, all I could manage was to be your royal advisor, oh and, FYI, many a reaper want your position, and are willing to…
*TL catches a scythe blade flying through the air twords the king*
Well you get the idea, oh and I wouldn’t eat that cookie If I were you 🙂
*a drop of poison drips from the cookie as TL picks it up and throws it away*
TL
“Noah of Eden, my predecessor told me about you, warned me with specific instructions, not to allow you to trick me. And if need be, run you over with my carriage. I however, have chosen my successor. Kukulan. The Feathered Serpent. Should I fall, I will be replaced by him.” The Dulahan stated. It’s head in it’s hand. “However, I accept you as my royal advisor. Despite the fact I am in no danger of beheading, poisoning, or electrocution. And let’s not forget… All Reapers can’t handle gold…”
You know as well as I that even the slightest cut from a scythe can end a reaper, no matter where. Oh and the poison, venom from one of the wild grims *shivers in disgust*
Your assassins arn’t dumb, they know you better than even you do…
Now my lord, it’s time to fulfill your duties…
*TL produces a seemingly infinite list of royal duties for that day and begins to read them aloud*
TL
The Dullahan waves off Noah. “I have no time at the moment, I need to get to Tir Na Nog, grab my carriage, and get to innocence by… 1:30 AM. You know your mother has put Innocence on a reincarnation schedule? Sickening.” He stated standing up and away from his throne. He went to the portal, which immediately opened to the land of the Fae. He walked through, got his carriage, and disapeared from sight of the portal.
Well, today I was delivering a package,and it looked like a normal package,so I gave it to the old lady at the door, and pretty soon I looked in my rearview mirror and there was a huge mushroom cloud back there. I didnt think that could happen twice.
Stupid reaper why did he have to stand on the sidewalk so close to the road.
Seth, Drache, Eris and Red:
Noting happened last night sadly
I just watched as the moon rises, waiting and concentrating, slowing the breath down. Nothing happened on my end, save for the tide that came up higher.
You… you didn’t change?
YOU DIDNT CHANGE!?
Leaf i am telling you we are resistant to the anything supernatural or something LOL
I AM NOT ANTI-PARANORMAL, I AM PRO-PARANORMAL! COME AT GET ME CHOATIC ENERGIES, YOU WANT AN INVITATION? Honestly, it’s like I have an invisible shield of resistance towards anything supernatural ^^ Red.
me too
Ya me too team leaf or leafpool
*sighs and rubs hands briskly together* Back to square one. ARE THERE ANY SPONSORS HERE THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP ME? MY CONDITION IS THAT ALL CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER ARE STATED IN EXPLICIT DETAIL. NO TRICKS OR ENSLAVEMENT. NOTHING IS TRULY FREE.
Atta girl, now you may survive long enough to actually do it.
i want to help leafpool
Of course!!!!!! Let me just check my array of all powerful magic tricks that I just randomly keep in the books of my room…… because we all know that anyone can just have books on the vast secrets of the universe. 😐 😆
“Allow me, dear.” The Dullahan states approaching Leafpool. “I can help you attain wolfhood, for a very low price. You see, as the Dullahan, I use a couple… Unconventional weapons. A whip made of bone, horses…a basin of blood… I just need to borrow… A few pints of blood, and we’ll be able to transform you into a wolf!” The Dullahan states. “You can choose between Oak, and Wind.”
My, Reaper, Thanatos, you are…. different might I say. Why and in what uses would my blood be required of you, may I ask?
I want to know what I would reciprocate to you in time should I agree. Would my aerokinesis be opened to me of its fullest extent? Most naturally I would choose Wind. If your predecessor as told you anything about me, you must know by the stars and my spirit I am an Air element. Though I doubt I would ever receive my true dream of flight with wings. I will be cautious this time.
“Well, much like Janus’ deal, I can only allow the Aerokinesis in wolf form, but, I might add, you will have wings in Wolf form. One gift of the Fae, is flight my dear.”
My other comment is awaiting the moderation. Thank you for your time and explanation to me. But however would we arrange a meeting? Also, would my shifts be forced or under my control? Would I have clarity and consciousness as a wolf?
I apologize for the moderation
“Oh my dear, I am not Thanatos. Thanatos was run over by his friend in a truck. I am what you might call a ‘Headless Horseman’ but with less Crane, and more Faerie. As for the use of your blood…. My work is very private, and I would have to use it in order to blind those who would look upon me whilst I work.” The Dullahan states. “I promise the blindness is temporary, but I constantly need to refill my basin in order to keep my identity secret. I will not use it against you, or attempt to use it for spells. Well, except for the werewolf transformation spell and such.” The Dullahan’s head which was held within it’s hand was the one that spoke, but it’s body was the one that did all the hand gestures.
Oh! I am relieved! Let me explain, I feared your appearance but not you yourself. Aren’t all who look upon the face of a Dullahan instantly killed? As to the blood, how and where would you take it from? Needles are my personal Hell. How would you be certain while bleeding me that I would not loose too much?
“As for your first question, the legends that formed me were always unclear. It depends on the person. I try to blind them, more… Humane.” The Dullahan states. “As for the draining you of blood, let me handle it. I know a couple people who can handle this without any trouble.”
Who are the colleagues you speak of?
Also, are there packs in southeastern Pennsylvania? I want to be smart and safe, both for myself and the WW community. I need to be a part of a pack for my first shift.
“For your first question, I’lll answer with another question. Have you ever heard the expression ‘Ghouls just want to have fun’? As for your second question, there are pack s everywhere. The issue isn’t where they are, the issue is acceptance. I will have no issue helping you transform my dear, but you must remember the pack might not accept you for taking a sponsor. Lucky for you, there is a pack in Southern Pennsylvania that accepts sponsored wolves, one of them is the sponsored son of Saint Hallow.”
Oh, so your colleagues aiding you are spirits? How would they aid you? And no, I have not heard of Saint Hallow, but I am now interested.
What is the pack’s name and how would I get in contact with them?
I will state this so you are aware. Fear me naught, Dullahan. How would I obtain a golden shifting whistle common of the Wind wolves?
What am I due to pay you for your kindness to me? Why take an interest and help me, a human?
Oh why does that surprise you? One that can do and undo anything.
*flips through planner*
Oh there it is
*she shows everyone the planner every page is blank*
So that’s why i never make those doctor appointments
Hmmm for a god you sure are a scatter brain aren’t you 😐
*sigh*
It’s in my nature
I noticed goddess of discord. Mayhaps I was wrong.
I didn’t turn too but I did have pains
We’ll I did something last night…dealt with Wicca and such…me wand oh it’s so wonderful…took me three days to build it…..put my own blood into it and connect it to my soul and when I died no one else can use except my children if they want to be that it is their choice well hopefully….everybody has an choice…
But i have anger issues now this didn’t happen before
*I listen as Susan and Nightshade finish telling me of Innocence* so you believe that Lilith is willing to share her new world with the Hybrid race? *They both speak simultaneously* Nightshade: “Possibly” Susan: “Absolutely not” *Susan frowns at her sister and continues* this is obviously a ploy. Once we’re in her grasp she’ll probably turn innocence into a hunting reserve and charge people to hunt us down!” *Nightshade shakes her head* “At worst I suspect she would experiment on us. She seems very curious about the Hybrid nature.” *Susan growls* “if you think that you’re even d…” *I cut her off raising my hand* girls… I will speak with Lilith and determine the truth for myself. You may go now. *I watch as they rise and leave the room closeting the door securely. I get up and turn the Void key over in my hand once before stabbing it into the air and opening a portal* Lilith? Lilith are you there?
“I am,” she called. “Not within that place where there is not.”
The portal collapsed in on itself. A gleaming silver double-door rose up from the ground in a flurry of lavender fire.
“I am here.” she said. And the doors opened.
*I hesitate staring at the doors suspiciously and then walk through them. I find myself in a huge room made of glass. Underneath it I can see the surface of a beautiful planet. I look around incredulously* you know I didn’t believe it… I thought it was a lie. But this is real. This place exists…
“Welcome,” Lilith said, greeting Mutt. Lilith lounged on a black and brass couch in one of the corners of the room. Decorating the corner was a brass telescope looking out onto the planet and a black coffee table joined by an armchair, she gestured for him to sit and join her. “To Innocence.”
“So,” she said. “To what do I owe this visit, Mutt? Perhaps you’re interested in my offer for a Hybrid safe haven?” She asked, staring off into the stars of Innocence. “I’ve adapted well to your attempt at eliminating me.” She made grandiose gestures to the bustling universe around them. “No hard feelings, I must thank you, really.”
*I look sit cautiously and face Lilith* oh contrary I must apologize for that. I was trying to protect my Hybrids by keeping my blood out of the wrong hands. However that plan worked about as well as the maiden voyage of the titanic… *I gaze out the window thoughtfully* yes I did come here seeking safe haven for my Hybrids. They are being hunted as we speak by multiple groups, one of which is Cortez. I do wonder…. Were you indisposed when you made him? Honestly, he is one of the most… but that’s besides the point. My Hybrids are in danger, and though it pains me to admit it I am no longer fit to protect them. So I need them in a place no one will go, that the entire multiverse fears. The Void, or Innocence as it now is called. So yes Lilith I am interested, however my question is what do you want from me for the safety and lodging of all my Hybrids?
As Lilith and Mutt converse, the carriage of the Dullahan reaches the house. It’s headless driver stepping out holding onto the hilt of his sword. Should he have to fight, he would. He could see the Hybrid and the ‘Pale Lady’ as they called her from miles away. The door immediately unlocked and swung open to allow his passage. “Pale Lady of Edom!” He yelled out.
*I rise from my seat and turn to face Dullahan* leave this place Reaper. You have no power here. Leave and never return… Before I make you leave.
The Dullahan laughs. “I was invited here, much like you. The Pale Lady wants me here… Understand?” The Dullahan puts his head on the table and kicks his feet up. “I’m assuming this is about disrupting your little ‘Reincarnation’ cycle? Sorry about that, but you see, reincarnation isn’t natural. Souls get old, go bad, think of souls like bread. When they are fresh, they are soft, easy to manipulate, and warm. Now, what happens if you let bread sit out for while?” The Dullahan asks picking up a piece of bread. “It begins to go stale, becomes harder, flakier, even moldy. Reincarnation isn’t saving your people, it’s destroying them.” The Dullahan places the bread within his bag, and claps his hand. “That’s where I come in, I’m here to fix your mistake. One ‘Innocent’ at a time.” The Dullahan states looking through the floor. In his eyes, the world below was glowing. The Souls of those that need to fall glowing like a lantern in the night to the faerie.
Hello Dullahan! I’ll leave you to your work and wait for your reply on my above questions. Good day.
“You dare,” Lilith started, getting up, and turning away from the two. She turned around and was suddenly 7 feet taller. They were no longer in a glass room, but somehow flying through Lilith’s cosmos, planets, stars and meteors whizzing past them. “To defy me?” Lilith grasped the Dullahan’s shoulders and whisked him away. They were now in a pumpkin patch, somewhere.
“You have stolen something dear to me.” she stated. She held up his rotting head by its hair. “Now I will take something dear to you.” The rotting head opened it’s grotesque, deteriorating mouth and and laughed at her. She responding by jabbing a nail of gold into it’s mouth, causing flames to burst forth from all it’s orfices and consumes. She dropped it to the ground as it begged for her stop. She made a hand motion and a vine grew from the ground, sprouting out a large fully grown pumpkin. She used her nails to carve out a typical Jack-O’-Lantern face before slamming it onto the Horseman’s shoulders. Flames burst to life from within the pumpkin as the hands grasped and felt the alien shape, before it realized what had happened.
Lilith appeared with Mutt back in the glass room, Dullahan absent. “So Mutt,” she mused, sitting at the dinner table. “You ask what I want? Tell me, what can you give me?” she asked as she sipped a red drink.
lilith i need a spirit so can you plz give me one i want a werewolf spirit so it can help me through my werewolf life
Dullahan? I hope have a pumpkin for a head doesn’t compromise your offer to me.
Lilith? Let me guess, you kept his head? There goes my sponsor.
*I look at Lilith appraisingly* some ones been eating their green vegetables… *I tent my fingers and look out the glass wall thoughtfully* the question I think is not what Can I give you. The question is what can I give you that you yourself cannot acquire by some other means. That greatly diminishes what I have on the table. However there are still two things I have. *I look back at Lilith* my Hybrids could add to your power. I’m assuming the reason you are so powerful now is because you have fed off of the worship of those down below. And in return given them endless life. My Hybrids could also be used in such a way. You could wipe their memories apon entering Innocence. Make them believe that you created them. They shall worship you and in turn add to your power… Besides which if you don’t wipe their memories I will. They will be reluctant to leave their universe, and given the opportunity would attempt to re-enter it. And there is one more thing that I can provide you with *I lean back my eyes and expression blank* The protection of Innocence, from the one being in all of existance that could possibly challenge you at this point. The Godslayer.
Lilith raises a silvery eyebrow and looks incredulously at Mutt. “You’re joking, right?” She scoffs. “You’re so disgusting. You would take away from these poor beings, your very own progeny, who they are? For their own protection, of course, but if so then to protect them you destroy their very identity in the process.” Lilith shakes her head. “You speak of them as if they are your property.” Lilith raises her hand and Mutt is raised into the air, his limbs, wings included, are spread, as if something was pulling on them. “Sickening. I once knew a man like you. He tried to claim me as his property, as if I was less then he was.” Lilith spread her fingers and Mutt /stretched/ in all directions. “And immortality? Nothing so rudimentary, they are just as mortal as those who walk Earth.” Lilith put her hand down and Mutt dropped to the ground. “When the time is right,” she sighed. “The Hybrid race shall ascend to Innocence. They shall be made safe from their enemies,” and Lilith’s eyes turned to silver fire at these words. “And from the manipulation of a cruel and thoughtless leader.” And with that Lilith stripped Mutt of his void key and threw him back to Earth. He was on the ground in a Hybrid camp outside of the raided and now contained laboratory.
All the while Cortez and Morgenstern had arrived outside of a cave somewhere in some odd desert.
*I growl and then smile with a sick pleasure* oh lady of Edom, you may have taken my key… *I pull out a wooden knife and turn it over carefully* but I swiped yours. *I sigh stretching my wings and reach into the continuum* “She would make a good savior for our race. Though she is a little hasty to judge and does not consider whether she is being tested, she has a good heart… Generally.” *I walk into the shadows and disappear*
As the Dullahan floated through space, a hand picked him up out of nowhere. He was laid into a bed, and looked after. When he awoke, he saw a man hunched over a bowl of soup. “Where the hell am I?” The Dullahan asked. “My home, found you in space… Last part of the void to remain a void…” The man stated. “Sorry, I mean ‘Innocence’. Curse the Pale Lady… Anyway… Names Abstract, lord of the void…” He said extending a hand to shake. “Dullahan, but I guess you can call me Jack.” The face on the pumpkin shifted to form a rueful grin. “Would you mind helping me with something?” Jack asked. “What’s that?” Abstract responded. “Help me fix the void…”
*I land roughly and groan getting up after Cortez dropped me* Next time couldn’t you just tell me where it is you want to go so I can shadow travel? Rather then being picked up like a 4 week old pup. Where are we anyways?
Hello Ichabod/Jack! I hope your head is okay after the golden nail.
“Yeah, if we could’ve shadow travelled here I would’ve,” Cortez sighs stretching his wings. He walks into the cave, despite the encroaching dark, it never becomes harder to see. “Lilith called this place one of her ‘Solution Houses’, it’s where she kept all her, well, solutions.” They reach a Large wall with a slight blue twinge to it, reflecting light as if a mirror. Cortez takes a silver coin from his tuxedo, flicking it off his thumb with a satisfied smile. The coin it immediately pulled to the wall as if by magnetism. A low hum is heard before the coin is absorbed by the wall. “The way is clear, bro,” he smiled. He walked through the wall. Inside there was a shift in the air, an obvious shift in dimensions. They were in a warehouse sized space. The entire place was lit by chandeliers and hanging lanterns, or so it appeared. There was a strange ambient light, even where there was no source. The place was lined with blackish green bricks and white grouting. All across the place were pedestals with artifacts seated on them. Not a mote of dust hung in the air. “The House knows why we’re here. Don’t touch anything else.” As they walked through the warehouse the artifacts whispered to them. They final reached a wall with a set of vault doors. Each a name or designation of some sort labelled above them. A few names rang familiar.
THE REAPER
SATANIEL
THE HATTER
OLYMPUS
UNSEELIE COURT
GAIA
MAB
ORIGINALS
MR MUTT
“She keeps the solutions here,” Cortez mused. “In the even someone need be eliminated, and prove resistful to conventional methods…” He looked up at the vaults, his eyes wide, an insane zealotry in his eyes. “These are the endgames. Each tailored to a specific entity. Destruction of the enemy is guaranteed.”
After a while, Abstract and Jack had formed a plan…they were going to burn New Edom to the ground, and then, they would turn to the rest of the void. But they would knock the Pale Lady from her throne, they would save the void. They would return it to the primordial chaos it was… And nothing would get in their way. “And you sure this will work, Jack?” Jack nodded with a crazed laugh. “Why wouldn’t it spunky? The Pale Lady can’t kill us both, hell, she probably can’t even kill me. All we have to do, is destroy a planet that she filled with life, and BOOM! All the power she had just goes ‘bye bye’!” Abstract nodded. “Then let us go, we need to get this done before she hears us…” Jack nodded, and climbed atop Abstract as the void lord transformed his shape into that of a void dragon. “LET’S RIDE!” Jack yelled, and throughout the void, a crazed, hollow laugh sounded.
*I look around the warehouse with a mild interest. Suddenly I see a large oval of gold surrounded by shimmering walls of energy, and my heart drops. I point at it* Cortez… Where did Lilith get THAT?
A woman stood upon a hill, over looking the Hybrid camps, who had set up just a bit distant of the research facilities. The place had been fully sealed up a while ago, only a few Hybrids had been infected with the virus, and had been quarantined. They were attended to by Hybrid doctors in hazmat suits, as were many others of the injured and those who had been subjected to the cruel experiments. The few of the laboratory’s staff left were questioned as to Morgenstern and Cortez’s whereabouts and plans. She saw them as they fled.
She could hear them questioning Sa’ lome. She mused briefly as to the where her fellow prisoners had fled, but it was not her concern.
The woman, Madama Shade, wore thigh-high black boots, fishnets, short shorts, a black blazer, and a top hat that covered her face. She strummed her black nails against her large walking stick, topped by a silver ornamental handle. A few Hybrids in flight, patrolling the perimeter of the camp, had seen her and were approaching.
*I fly down to the woman drawing a sword as the rest of my patrol falls in behind me* Who are you? What buisness do you have here?
She held her hand up to Ice. “Shhhh…” said a disembodied voice. “I am waiting.”
Her black nails continued to strum up against her staff.
*My eyebrows shoot up and I look at her increduously* did you just “shhh” me? Who are you waiting for?
“For you,” she says as she stops her drumming fingers. “For vengeance.” She tipped her head to the side, and the shadows seemed to grow longer, and she re-continued her strumming. “I am waiting to draw the darkness broader.”
*a shiver runs down my spine and I back away from the darkness. Something about it feels… Malevolent* what revenge? *I raise my sword light shining off the tip*
“You know of what I speak!” She snarls, gripping her staff. “Do not pretend you do not!” The light that shines of Ice’s sword gradually fades. Black clouds blanket the horizon, unnaturally dark. “You..” She begins to shake, as does her voice. “You did this!” streaks of white electricity ark off her body as her a miasma of darkness, stemming from under her feet, begins to spread around them, before it stops dead in it’s tracks and begins to recede, the electricity also growing lesser in intensity. She thrusts her staff into the dirt. “No… not yet. I must wait still…”
*I stand frozen in place as the light from my sword dwindled to a pinprick. When the darkness fades I hear beating wings and know my patrol has fled. I scowl at their cowardice and glare at the woman* I’ve pissed off a lot of people lady. If you were one of them I don’t remember. Care to enlighten me?
“Forget,” she screeched. “Forget me!?” She leveled a kick at him with enough force to knock him back.
*I look at her* really? That’s your best move? Kicking? And your avoiding my question.
“Very well.” She put one hand on her rod and began to walk ’round it. “I,” her form rippled, as water does when one slaps the surface. She shifted into a lookalike of Morgenstern, then her form became female again, eventually a different hybrid altogether. “Am,” She walked behind the large stick again, it lengthened up vertically a bit, and she was once again the woman in black, her boots clicking against the ground. She swung around the pole, her hand holding her to it, and flew up to the top, wrapping her legs around it and arching backwards to face Ice. She now held two pistols made of shadow, aiming them at Ice. This all happened within but a moment.
“Elizabeth.” He hat fell off, as she was now wrapped around the lengthened cane by her legs, upside down, and Ice could see her eyes. Unmistakable. And a barrage of projectiles were let loose from the pistols in a fashion too quick than their size should allow, bolts of bright violet light exiting the things, and shooting towards Ice.
*I freeze so shocked that I hardly feel the first bullet hit me. My legs give out and darkness creeps up on my vision* you dîëd…. I kíllêd you… *I fall completely face first into the ground as the bullet wounds ooze a dark red*
seth what do you mean lilith sent a recruit to me and i got a picture not and my name is not powerwolf you like and you can call me pwolf
sorry with the not its now
Can I say PW?

Could someone catch me up on what’s going on?
Um…No, I’m actually about as lost as you
*I sigh rubbing my forehead. I hear Susan walk up behind me* “any sign of them?” *I shake my head* no, no sign of Ice or his patrol in the continuum. No sign of the Hybrids Eris converted either. Nothing from Morgenstern, nothing from anyone. It’s like they all dropped off the face of the earth… *Susan taps her foot impatiently* “Well shouldn’t we be out looking for them? Rather then just searching with your mind?” *I frown* yes and in the meanwhile why don’t we get ourselves captured by one of the various organizations that know about Hybrids now. Until we destroy all the info out there, it’s not safe to go out searching for them. *I hear Susan laugh with contempt* “You’re a coward. You always have been. If your not going to do anything to save my brother then I wi… *I cut her off* you will do no such thing. You will lay low like everyone else. *She growls but doesn’t protest any further. I extend back into the continuum* Ice… Where are you?
Cortez sighs at Morgenstern. “She’s been around a long time. Too long,” he sneers. She runs his hand over the large shining circle embroider with Mr. Mutt’s name on it. “She fixed it. Only she can open these blasted doors!” He bangs his fist on the door, and the entire place stirs, rumbling for a moment, before stopping. A warning. How polite. “Ugh, we’re settling for something a little more,” he gazed a few isles down, walking the length of them, before rapping his fingers around an old egyptian looking canopic jar, topped with a jackal’s head. He looked around at the ceiling as he gently lifted the thing of it’s pedestal. A strange hum resounded through the place. First, it was light and inviting, before turning into a deafeningly deep vibration, until stopping altogether. “We got what we came for. Let’s go, bro.” Cortez began to trudge off towards the exit. “I wonder how that virus business is going…”
*I look at Cortez for a moment before an insane grin spreads across my face* sorry little brother, but I Want that. *I plunge my hands through the energy field around the gold oval and scream as the soft gold light turns bright red. My fingers grasp the edge of the golden oval just as my body combusts in a hellish fire. I scream from the center of it my hands gripping the gold*
“No!” Cortez dropped the urn and plunged himself into the fires. “Let it go you fool!” He grasped Morgenstern’s hands, the skin of which was now nonexistent. They both screamed as their muscled strained and opposed each other “Just leave it!”
The place began to stir once again. The grouting between the obsidian tiles began to bubble, and at one point started to bubble, erupting like a geyser and building upon itself until a marble copy of Lilith stood. Security.
“Oh ****!” Cortez screeched. “Stop it!” He wailed. “It’s so hot! It’s burning!” He pulled at Morgenstern’s hands, at least what was left, that is. Their healing factors were a good foil to the red flames, but this fire was unquenchable. All the while, the marble statue neared.
*I see Liliths image and a flair of anger shoots through me as the metal dissolves under my fingertips. I scream as the fire turns from red to gold and shiver Cortez away from me. Light begins to erupt from my body and I feel as though I may shatter into a million pieces* This… Isn’t… How… I… End! *Light explodes from me and blows out the fire as the objects essence fuses into me. My scream turns into hysterical laughter as bone and muscle surge from my back, and feathers begin to sprout*
On of the statues eyes gleam, chrome-sliver drips from them and covers the eyes. Lilith watches from the Glass Room, a star in the background frames her image. “Icarus flies again,” she grimaced. She reached out.
On Morgenstern’s arm became embalmed the word ‘MINE’ in the same metal that he had wrested control over. “Well done,” she whispered from Innocence, into Morgenstern’s ear.
*I snarl as pain and rage flashes through me. Then I smile spreading my new wings, with black and Gold feathers where once there had been black and red feathers* I’m not Icarus. *My eyes stare into the statues and a crack appears in Liliths glass palace* I see you pale lady… And I will have my vengeance. *The statue shudders and turns to gravel as my wings glow with golden light* come along Cortez, this place has served its purpose.
Cortez stares in awe and fear. He grasps the urn. “Y-yeah. Lets.”
He narrowly dodges a punch thrown by one of the marble statues, kicking it apart, after.
*I walk casually through the room passing Cortez on my way to the door* so what’s the plan now? Lure Mutt out? Find him? By some Girlscout cookies?
Cortez exits through the portal and spreads his wings. “Oh no. We take the fight to him. Directly. Full frontal assault.” And he began to fly towards the Hybrid encampment outside the raided labs of Lilith.
*I shake my head slightly chuckling as I leap into the air after him*
A shadow came over New Edom. “People of ‘New Edom’! You have been tricked by your ‘Goddess’! She forces you to worship her, but we have come to set you free! The Void Lord Abstract and I will cleanse this place, in the name of The Void, we set you free!” Jack yelled from the back of a massive black dragon, the Void Lord Abstract. The Void Lord opened his mouth, and a torrent of flame spilled from his lips. The planet of New Edom burned, it’s screams heard throughout the Void. Jack laughed insanely and from his pumpkin head, the planet was reduced to a black char. But the two didn’t stop there, they landed atop the planet, it disintegrated into ash. Nothing remained of that pitiful planet.
