SOS RED ALERT: GARGOYLES AT LARGE, DEEMED DANGEROUS…
Eight giant gargoyles reportedly escaped from a basement prison in Worcester, Massachusetts in the dark of the Tetrad Moon.
Survivors should be on the lookout for these gargantuan gargoyles, which are over 100 years old, stand 6 feet tall and weigh over 3000 pounds each.
Church official Debra Packard says the gargoyles were securely locked in a nearby basement facility for the safety of the town and were reported missing on the full moon.
Heeding an urgent radio call in the middle of the night last night, SOS’s Seth Greening temporarily suspended the site’s full moon party to launch an immediate investigation.
“Given the fact these gargoyles escaped at the height of the blood moon and the disturbing reports here on SOS pointing to the possibility of a new demon portal open here on Earth, I knew that survivors would understand a delay in the Hall of Famer announcement and immediately went to investigate.”
After inspecting the gargoyles basement prison, Seth confirmed the gargoyles were properly locked away at the time of their disappearance.
“Their heads were properly dismounted and secured in separate boxes, locked in a basement facility with no windows on the top of a hill,” he says. “This indicates clearly the gargoyles had outside help.”
But what kind of outside help?
The town locals suspect a group of human bankers with a plan to control the gargoyles’ power for their own ends.
“Not a bad theory. With the exception of pop stars, bankers are among the most likely humans to seek shady deals with the underworlds,” said Seth, adding that he is personally suspicious of a group calling itself The Protectors who have recently identified themselves to the site.
Until the plot can be unravelled and the gargoyles recaptured Seth alerts survivors everywhere to be on the lookout for gargoyles behaving suspiciously.
“Which is to say, behaving, like any way other than like a statue,” he elaborated.
Seth warns this is not as easy as it sounds, as gargoyles regain human form almost immediately once liberated from their stony stupors, and a gargoyle in human form is not as easy to identify as one stuck on the outside of a church or government building.
“Some of them can shift in and out of statue form in an instant,” says Seth. “But look for the telltale rock-like cracks in their gray human skin, the stony look in their eyes and any humans who remain supernaturally heavy despite having an outwardly lean and hungry appearance.”
Seth says to immediately suspicious of stone gargoyles that are appear oddly placed. I’m talking about modern settings, like food courts or on public transit.
Survivors with any info that could lead to the re-capture of the gargoyles, or about their overall plan are urged to contact the site immediately.
And to keep on keeping on for the SOS Hall of Famer to be revealed without further ado, later today.

Hm… This ‘Outside help’ may be connected to the string of stolen items around here on the site…
You’re right, Reaper. And these gargoyles seem extremely dangerous. But I don’t see how any mere mortals could get ahold of my spellbook. I always have it either on myself, or kept somewhere where no human can find it. Maybe the “outside help” had some sort of use of magic to get ahold of the items we are now missing. I don’t see how, though. It’s highly likely though that they are the cause.
-Raven
Lets not forget Seth’s mistake here it’s protected not protectors, they are a lesser species of Hybrid due to prominent human DNA, often attaching themselves in a relationship with a guardian hence the more prominent role as being a “protected” species. I thought Seth would remember that since of course the protected is a protected species or at least they are a species called the protected
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Not to be rude, but this is no laughing matter. These gargoyles could harm innocent humans and other creatures alike! We all are in serious danger right now.
-Raven
Not to mention the fact that our mystic artifacts went missing mere hours before the escape. It’s possible we’re not only dealing with gargoyles, but someone with vast magical knowledge and 5 of the most powerful artifacts in history. Including the first Reaper Scythe…
~ The Reaper
No danger, the gargoyles were sealed away because they were feared by the church. They are harmless until threatened. And so I laugh at how wrong the reports are. Or was it for another reason????? I can’t remember.
The first Reaper Scythe? Wow. This someone must be indeed powerful. My spellbook may not be the most powerful in the world (it has some simple rituals and spells, a few complex ones too, at that), but it can do some damage, especially considering the fact I have one powerful hex in there. This could mean a lot of trouble if we can’t fix this soon.
-Raven
Hmmmmmm, it would most likely be a yama that took those.
The Yama, huh? But why would the god of Death want my spellbook?
-Raven
The Yama, huh? Why would the god of death want my spellbook?
-Raven
Yama as in the mountain demons of Japan, not the judge of the dead. They collect things from magical properties, attempting to gain power, they used to try to take my body parts from me long ago.
Ah. I’m sorry. I was referring to the Hindu God of Death, Yama. I apologize for my misunderstanding, Assanjin.
-Raven
I am just happy all the books and spell tomes I keep hidden are safe and locked away. Fenrir himself could not take them. Though that is not my most prized possession, I keep a blade, very special one indeed.
Interesting. Might I ask, how many spell tomes and books do you keep? And how did you get them?
-Raven
Oh I used to get around, the Necronomicon (a copy of it), the Dracunabis Malefactum, the scroll of the basilisk, the book of fate, the scroll of Thoth and many others I found long ago, deeming them to dangerous I sealed away most of them. I actually read the Dracunabis Malefactum and gained everything I know now. I then sealed it away where no one can find it, not even I can reach them anymore because the password for the door was one of my scales, which by the way don’t exist anymore and yada yada yada certain doom for anyone who tries to get it.
I keep 30 spell tomes, the rest I will not mention because then I become a target to a few baddies who never knew I had them. But I also keep Merlin’s tomes,volumes 1 through 5.
That’s amazing, Assanjin. I wish I could have that many tomes and such, but, alas, I cannot seem to get ahold of any. I’ve been trying for almost two years to get more spellbooks. Do you have any tips on how to get more?
-Raven
I did not find them by chance, the first time I became a drache I wandered the world for a while. I had no full control over myself and so I ended up in Japan, my force of swimming caused massive tidal waves. But I was not myself, then one sage who was able to calm me down and taught me many things. He gave me these books to guard and keep safe before he passed.
It was no otherfolk but a man who had found me.
Wow. A truly intriguing tale, my friend. If only I could somehow get that many tomes and spellbooks. I have enough human literature I have gone through multiple times. So many books, but not what I truly want. Alas, finding such tomes isn’t easy where I am at the current momet. Oh well. I suppose I could look harder or see of my mentor could assist me in my search for more spellbooks.
-Raven
Did I forget to mention my library of magykal books I keep in a non secure area of my house next to the pantry? You should check it out next time your in wonderland
Wonderland? Hmm. I believe I have never been to such a place. Mind telling where it is? Or at least, how would I get there?
-Raven
Well the easiest way to get there is to go to England, find the white rabbit and jump down his rabbit hole. At which point you will find a glass table with a key on it, the key will fit into a door the size of a little girls head, upon looking at the table again you will find a bottle of liquid labeled “drink me” drink a SMALL sip of it keeping the key on you and you will fit through the door, after a variety of random events you will approach a tree with a poem reading cat named Jarrod ask him the way to the hatters house and follow the path he indicates then you will arrive at my old place, don’t worry nothing will happen please take my books away I don’t need them anymore
Yes, it was the happiest days of my life, but the joy gave me no token of the evils never spoken. That evil that had just awoken, me in despair but never mournful. That encounter with him gave me hope for humanity. That a man could see past our exterior and show kindness to something that seemed dangerous, twas the reason I had become a guardian and gathered the four rest their souls. In short he gave me peace then he gave me purpose.
England, huh? Well, it may take a while to get there, considering I live in the United States. But I will most certainly do this when I have the chance. I even plan on moving to England with my girlfriend once we are able too.
-Raven
I’m planning on moving to either Ireland or Scotland when I have the opportunity.
The reaper’s scythe, if I was your employer reaper you would be fired.
Considering I’m king reaper, I don’t think that’s much of an issue. But thanks for the concern!
The Reaper
Oh, how flattering, I speak with the all powerful Thanatos, pity, here I wasknowing forces that exist more powerful than a reaper and his scythe.
Madness cometh merry and merriment calleth might, when drache comes calling with his scythe in the night.
6 artifacts now missing with no sign of them, and reports are still coming in of items disappearing. there are eight Gargoyles. Are they trying to get on item per Gargoyle?
Also, I can’t help but wonder, who could be powerful enough to get these artifacts? It seems they were all well guarded when they were stolen. Sure, my basket was just sitting in my living room,but I have several traps set in case an uninvited supernatural shows up.
It seems like you have a theory there, Haley. A good one, too. It is a possiblility. And I wonder the same thing about who could have taken our items.
-Raven
I must admit Morgenstern’s comment over Kole’s bow bothers me quite a bit. However, she refuses to jump to conclusion so I suppose I won’t either…but still…
We do not need to turn on one another with wild accusations, what we do need is to try and figure out who will lose what next.
You have a point, Akantha. We shouldn’t be pointing fingers at each other.
-Raven
It is a bit soon to start jumping to conclusions, but that comment did worry me too. It was odd, really.
-Raven
Do you assume that the gargoyles could be potentially dangerous? I mean, people will be out looking for them and may end up causing some ruckus… I don’t like it when people ask me why my skin is so strange, so they might not like it when people go out and start looking at them like a bug in a picnic basket.
~BrokenStone
See!!!! I am not the only one, the only reason that gargoyles are considered dangerous is because people stay gawking about!!!!!!!!! You stare at any person and they’d be angry too, but no, just because gargoyles are considered ugly they are immediately considered dangerous. I don’t see angels getting this treatment.
Its not the staring that makes me angry, it’s how they stare… They look at me like I belong in a cage! They look at me with hate in their eyes, so I stare right back with my cold grey eyes. Thank you Assanjin, people seem to listen to you more than they do me.
~BrokenStone
Don’t worry about it, drache have the same problem. People look at us in disdain and fear, like we were nothing but abominations. People, do not judge beings based on physical appearances. Be polite to all beings, manners are important, if you don’t have them you are no better than whatever beast you are judging. AND NO GAWKING!!!!! You’d all be pissed if someone looked at you in a funny way or gaveyou a stink eye. So lay off La Gargoui.
As you all know, october 31’st is almost here, and that means the under and over worlds are on a crash trajectory for each other as per every year since even I can remember, and I’ve been around to see 4,962 of them. Point is, king reaper and don’t have our scythes to “keep the peace” so to speak, this year, due to unforeseen circumstances, so I will be deputizing any powerful individuals who’d like to preform a civic duty.
Contact me with questions or concerns…

I still have that UPS box if you want it :/
Hmph…
In all this time, you never opened it?
In any case it’s your payment, why would you offer such a thing…
TL
I am not so powerful anymore, once I would have been happy to but now not so much. Enough in using power to keep peace or fear, time has come for words. Why not gather the leaders into a mut and see if they are willing to stay in peace for thisone year while you get your scythes back? Or are they like silly children who will only bicker as long as the adult doesn’t have a belt.
Honey
No one asked you 😐
*twerks on assanjin*
Because the status quo is God that’s why thigs are the way they are.
The roles care not who or how they are portrayed simply that they are played.
*I appear in a flash of golden flames* hello Eris
“Wel shiz”
I whip my head around and the world around us seems to twist and crumble before it gives way to a featureless white landscape. “We got a new reality warper in town.” My clothes change to that of a western cowboy. I raise my right revolver and after firing a giant fist flies out in your direction. “Lets see what you got.”
*I smile cruelly as my wrist twitches* I’ve thought for a long time what I would do when I confronted you Eris. You are the Goddess of chaos, it’s incarnation, how could I defeat you? *Suddenly the blank white background solidifies into perfects straight white walls, and we’re inside a perfectly square white room. All the surfaces are perfectly flat and all the angles are exactly 90 degrees. The cowboy costume turns Into a plain white straight jacket immobilizing Eris* I figured this would probably drive you insane…er
Wh-what is this?
*I stretch and strain the straight jacket. My hair’s volume falls to a more dull, normal state. My green eyes dart around, confused by the uniformity and staticness of the room.*
*I laugh harshly* cut a deity off from its source of power, and what does it become? Nothing.
Aha.
*My eyes narrow before focusing back on Morgenstern.*
You haven’t been paying attention, sweetheart. I’m no deity. I simply am. I’m giving you one chance to let down these walls or I will leave the mortal coil of Hecate’s Maiden and you will see just why I am what I am.
a warrant lands right in front of Morgenstern and Eris, attached a note that reads as follows*
while I am all for the destruction of chaos once and for all, you have much more pressing matters to attend to, I’ve seen you’ve been a bad boy as of late…
and you Eris, I’m not even going to go there
prepare for court, in 3… 2… 1…
*thousands of reapers descend upon the room, sweeping Morgenstern and Eris to the underworld*
TL
Lilith watches from the Glass Room with vested interest.

TL
*I land in the underworld and brush off the shoulders of my white suit* oh TL, when I’m done with you, the other survivors won’t even be able to recognize your remains as matter. How dare you interrupt me!
*TL puts a pair of magical handcuffs that neutralize supernatural power on Morgenstern and Eris in under a second*
Cut a deity off from his power and what does it become? nothing…
Now, sit back and let your lawyers do the talking…
good luck, you’ll need it…
*TL walks away as the lights come on revealing and infernal courthouse*
TL
*I look down at the handcuffs and laugh* my power is not external! He is in my soul! *Suddenly golden flames burst from my skin and I scream in a mixture of euphoria and agony* YOU WILL NOT CONTAIN ME! *For the briefest moment the shape inside the flame shifts subtly but then returns to normal as the handcuffs drip from my wrists as molten metal* Now TL, it’s time for your judgement. *The molten metal flys from my wrists and encircles TLs throat*
Oh good, you took the bait
You are all but incriminating yourself…
*TL through a into the air a single gold drachma*
Remember the fee for your boat ride, yeah, I’m calling in that favor
*the drachma ripples in the air with a dark energy, TL’s eyes turn golden and hypnotic*
Subdue…
*he says in a serpentine voice as Morgenstern falls to the ground*
TL
*I fall and suddenly a pattern flakes up all around me and I smile* ave atque vale TL. *The pattern flames and I disappear into the portal*
You brought me… Into the heart of the Underworld…
*I throw back my head in glee as the straightjacket falls to tatters and the cuffs crumble to sand. I begin to fly up in the air*
Fools! Chaos can not be contained!
*Light flies up from my hands to the stone ceiling of the underworld, clouds form and lights and music trickle from them*
Now for the ultimate downfall to bureaucracy. LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
Hmm…
Figured as much…
*TL drops the melted and dicentigrated hand cuffs into an evidence bag, and hands it to an intern*
Remind me to fire whoever invented these…
TL
Hmmmm one does not know the first thing about maintaining a cosmic balance. The other is in over their head and the last knows only hatred, violence and arrogance. Honestly the lot of ye look at yourselves, with the potential to be proud and strong, power to rule over and handle the troubles of every universe there is yet here you all are bickering like small children at least one is trying to do her job but you two should be ashamed. Eris you represent a cosmic force that maintains the balance of the Yin and Yang yet you act like a Nanuk. While Morgenstern so obsessed with power he shall never reach the full power he can wield. While TL shames herself in losing her scythe. Have you no dignity the lot of ye? In my day honor was the way of battle, in my day glory was to be gained, you want to know a secret Morgenstern?
The secret to make a god powerless, to kill him or her whichever the case is, is not to break them, but yo break yourself, for when you break yourself you become unbendable, immovable, unbreakable. When a god has nothing left to take, they become nothing and you remain unfazed this is the wisdom I offer.
Pity, he has the ability to become truly unstoppable but so long as violence lingers he is fragile within.
Eris, for a basic law of the universe let me tell you something, no matter how chaotic you may be, no matter how random you may think you are, all things that exist have a mathematical principal, meaning nothing happens by chance and is decided by factor. You are not chaos, you are order with a different mask. Even chaos is finite, even chaos is limited and orderly. Know now that you are the one thing you think you were separate from but are really one and the same.
And as for you three, disappointing to say the least, one is over her head, the other knows not even the slightest way to be a universal principal, and the last one can become unstoppable but will never find the way. Even to I who am mortal, I have to be honest and in all due respect say that you three are not among the things that I fear. For foolishness in any of it’s forms is no hinderence to I who contemplates the mind and makes it unbreakable. The way to make anything powerless is not to remove their source of power from them but from yourself. Morgenstern is violence so I counteract with gentleness, TL is foolishness so I counteract with cunning. Eris is everything I am not and so I act with everything I am. I hope peace, love and wisdom find you three before you come to destroy yourselves.
*A man in a dark black trench coat, matched with an even darker mop of messy hair, and eyes that pulse with blue and purple like the colors of lightning appears before Assanjin*
It appears we have not met…
First off get my gender right
Do you know who I am?
I’m Noah, you know, from Noah’s ark?
I can understand the confusion though…
Let’s just say the story is wrong…
Back when human kind was young, a woman by the name of Lilith, yes that one, gave a peice of herself to Hecate to create me…
Now my whole life, I was treated like a monster, because the peice she gave was Lilith the storm. I spent my entire childhood in fear of my own powers until one day, I found a coven that would accept me for who I was. But in time even they would turn. They tried to take my powers for their own greed. That’s when it hit me. I would cleanse the world of all the filth of humanity, this event became known as the great flood. Big G punished me for this by sentencing me to the life of a reaper, and then went and took the glory of my flood as his own, that’s why the story is written like that in the bible, that’s why I do what I have to…
*TL’s pager pings*
I can assure you my good sir, I am no where near foolish…
But if there is the slightest sense of justice in you, you’ll choose the right path…
*TL hands Assanjin a reaper badge as he walks away*
Consider yourself deputized…
TL
*walks up to TL and Assanjin, my black trench coat billowing out behind me as I walk* hmm… *looks up and sees the giant hole in the ceiling of the underworld* wow. What happened here?
-Raven
*TL sits on a rock as he watches Eris continue to destroy the underworld, then turns to raven*
I like you style, where do you get yours from, the trench coat I mean? I’ve been looking to buy a new one you know…
*TL looks back to Eris and sighs*
It wouldn’t be the first time she’s done this, and it most certainly won’t be the last…
TL
My trench coat? It was a gift from my mistress, the daughter of the vampire Queen. Well, the Queen was murdered over five thousand years ago…. but let’s not get on that subject. *fakes a smile* but my mistress is like my mother. I even learned that, if I become powerful enough as a vampire, my mistress can give me the blessing of becoming the vampire Queen. I look forward to that, actually.
-Raven
*Looks at Eris* So? You are over your head because in all of history no reaper has ever lost THEIR SCYTHES!!!!! And in my lifetime there are two. *Shows strange object* Do you know what this is? Little Noah.
Twas a little object long lost in the depths of the mind of madness. As I said before, to make a god into nothing, to turn any enemy into nothing you do remove their power you remove your own weaknesses and remove their source of power within yourself.
Oh sure, the legions of hades and the armies of overworld will of course listen to a mortal. Let me see if I can convince the children to play nice *smiles* Otherwise they have not seen twice Hell until I am through with them. *Walks off* See you soon, kiddies.
OK Assanjin, I think I speak for everyone when I say you need to get off your high horse. If you want to blatantly condecsend to others, don’t do it here.
Says the supposedly unbeatable force. Who is truly on a high horse, I am just making a few observations and having fun, please excuse my behaviour this past day I have not felt like myself. I am just a bit under massive amounts of stress and just watching you three go at it brought up my natural drache instinct of pride and for that I am sorry. But I feel normal again but I stand by what I said, just not so harsh this time around. Learn Eris, learn how to be a primordial in the right fashion.
“Learn Eris, learn how to be a primordial in the right fashion.”
And yet your condescension continues. I’m merely giving you some advice; stop while you’re ahead, before people start calling you Fenrir 2.0
I suppose it is wise to heed the warning. But I find it fun, this time of the year is always interesting, a time when old friends would visit, but now they are all dead and All Hallows Eve will never be the same without them. Shh but memories are dead in the past and the present is calling to wrought it’s vicious ghost upon my floor.
😯 HI ERIS!
OH MY WONDERFUL LEAFPOOL
How are sweetie?
I’m great!
How are you? Tommorrow I will be traipsing through corn mazes and picking pumpkins with my family. It’s getting cooler here, and the Indian summer is sure to come soon. Autumn-time is wonderful.
Well its get colder and colder every minute brarer cold well I think some of the side effects of being a werewolf is kicking in little by little
How rude, begone. I am only making a suggestion. So enough of your vulgarity. If you don’t want my opinion say so in a respective manner for I have done nothing to you to deserve your incipient behaviour.
all falls gargoyles saved my life a lot of times
*I stroll purposefully through the botanic garden. I know his portal will emerge here, I know this may be my last chance to try and help him. I also know it’s unlikely that he will accept my help. But I have to try. Suddenly infront of me there is a flash of golden flames and Morgenstern stands before me* hello son. It’s been awhile. *He looks at me with a mixture of curiosity and boredom* “How did you know my portal was going to come out here?” *I smile slightly* who taught you to make portals like that? *Morgenstern frowns and then says* what do you want? *I sigh* to help you son. You’ve taken on a power far greater then your own. It will destroy you. *Morgenstern sneers* always the same with you, isn’t it? You think that we aren’t powerful enough so you try to intervene as the good father. Let me tell you, you’re a horrible father. Just ask Cortez. Or Ice, or Susan. All you do is order us around. If you ever showed any affection towards us I think we all might drop dęäd from shock.” *I remain motionless and look and Morgenstern carefully* despite what you may believe I do care for you. I care for all of your brothers and sisters. But I have to be distant. I have to… *Morgenstern turns away* “I’ve heard enough. After I’m done with Lilith and TL, you’re next on my list. That is if Cortez doesn’t get you first. *I watch silently as he walks away*
And guys my dog bit my again but badly I was bleeding a lot not a lot a lot just a lot well I’m going to bed see ya but still reply
Hey Seth what happened to the Hall of Famer? Didn’t Reaper win? Is he still going in the HOF?
Hail Lilith,
Thanks for your patient reminder and for keeping on. We’ve had some computer problems around here that are now under control-ish. The link to Reaper’s new Hall of Fame entry can be found here.
Seth
I repeat anyone who would like to become a reaper for a day, please contact me, the Grimm socity will need all the help we can get on halloween now that reaper and I have lost our scythes. Its the busy time of the year for us with all the ghosts escaping and such. I don’t want to have to draft, we haven’t needed to in over 200 years. PLEASE CONTCT IF INTERESTED!
P.S. Lilith, if your reading thing, i’ll take you up on that offer, though i still for the unlike of me fathom why you would give up the USPS box…
TL
…what exactly is in this box?
You never opened it?
*TL grows a dark smirk on his face as he begins to open the box*
Thank the gods for that…
*TL pulls a ship in a bottle out of the box*
I trust you know what this is…
TL
The Arc, I assume?
*bounds towards TL dragging Akantha with her* Kole and I would love to be deputized!
Akantha: *groans* Why? All I have is this horrible white ash bow. The string has already broken twice. I’m virtually no help.
Me: *shrugs* So? I lost my basket with all my herbs. There is strength in numbers. Besides, you’re a goddess. You look imposing enough without the bow.
Akantha:*scoffs* Imposing?! I look like a ginger with purple dyed ends teenage girl wearing a Linkin Park T-shirt, torn jeans, and converse! nothing about that is imposing!
Me:*shrugs again* those do. *gestures to Akantha’s glowing pale golden eyes* So.. TL deputation?
A reaper for a day, huh? Seems interesting. Tell me, will we have to use our own weapons? If so, I don’t have a scythe on hand, so where could I get one?
-Raven
The Reaper appears through a green and black swirling portal. In his normal getup of jeans, a hoodie, black sneakers, and a ‘Black Veil Brides’ T-Shirt. “You don’t have to look imposing Akantha. You just have to get the job done. And as for you Raven, you can use any tool at your disposal. Honestly, the scythes are more for defense/offense as well as slight interdimensional travel. The real gems, no pun intended, are these babies.” The Reaper holds up a clear gem, if held at the right light, you could even see where the soul went. “I trust you know how these work, if not, you place them near the persons heart, and gently brush it against the skin. The gem will glow Green if you have done it correctly.”
I smirk and unbutton my black trench coat, revealing my black Bauhaus t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and a machete on a specially-made leather holster. I pull the weapon out, gripping it tightly. “So this will do?” I chuckle darkly. “Perfect. As for the jewels, I think I can handle that.” I then seem to zone out for a moment, my eyes glazed over.
-Raven
Reaper, you wanna help me train the newbies
Ahh, its been ages since I’ve taught reaper 101
Raven, Haley Akantha, your all deputized…
TL
Awesome! *I smile, my fangs showing* I’m not sure how my mistress (who is the daughter of the… dead vampire queen and she’s like my mother) will feel about it though… Oh well. I don’t think she’ll mind.
As for my mistress being the daughter of the old vampire queen, I will update on that more later on. Heh.
-Raven
Oh Father will positively adore this, he’s been trying to get me to become a reaper forever…
*Looks at Akantha questioningly having not heard this before now and then shrugs* So reaper training? Sounds fun!
*I snap back into reality* so, uh, when does training start? *my dark brown hair falls in my face as I put my machete back into the holster*
-Raven
Imdeiatly…
*TL pulls out a training scythe and throws it to raven*
Now, what’s the 3 most dangerous creatures to lost souls
*no one answers*
That’s right, demons, necromancers, and rouge reapers…
Luckily for you I’ve been the last two and still am the first, meaning I know how they think, what makes them tick so to speak…
*TL removes his tinted glasses revealing his eyes that seem to ripple with purple and blue lightning*
First off, defense, just know that when I leave this human vessel, I won’t be able to control my self…
*TL summons a faux soul in the middle of the room*
Your job is to defend the “soul”
Ready? Good.
1…2…3…
Go!
*A serpent made of lightning jumps from TL’s mouth twords the soul as his body drops to the floor*
TL
*I look at Raven* Best guess? probably right now.
Your very right Akantha
*TL throws Akantha and raven scythes*
First up, defense…
what are the biggest threats to our interests
*no one answers*
Thats right, daemons, rouge reapers, and necromancers
Luckily for you I’ve been the last two, and still am the first…
*TL takes off his tinted shades revealing his eyes that pulse with blue and purple lightning*
Be warned though, after I leave this human vessel, i may not be able to control my self…
*TL summons a ghost illusion in the middle of the room*
Your job is to protect him, from me…
Ready? Good…
3… 2… 1…
*A snake made from lightning jumps out from TL’s mouth as he falls to the ground cold*
TL
*I jump in front of the illusion deflecting the blow on the blade of my scythe*
Good…
*hisses a voice that they can all hear in their minds*
But you’ve left an opening…
HERE!
HERE!
HERE!
AND HERE!
*TL says as he zaps Akanthas pressure points*
TL
*I grind my teeth together as waves of pain wash over me* So have you… you were only watching me and Raven *The blade of Haley’s Scythe touches the base of TL’s head* oh FYI she carries holy water at all times…
*TL arches back to his body and quickly dodges before Haley’s scythe can do any damage, and begins to clap*
Well done, you’ve passed the first test, rest up for now, we will continue in the morning…
*as they leave, TL walks over to reaper*
Just as I thought *sigh* you know I really thought they had potintial, but as they were celebrating they left the ghost compleat unattended and not in a crystal, easy prey for any passing daemon…
It was the entire point of the excercise!
My body was even laying there for them to pick a fresh crystal up…
Ah well, I guess they are all we’ve got for now…
TL
*A green gem appears in TL’s hand and he turns to see a smirking Akantha* figured you might want that back..
*TL smirks backs*
Go on, catch up with your friends, but remember, keep this between you and me…
*TL turns back to reaper*
We might not be as lost as we thought, maybe, at least one of them
Is showing promise…
TL
*A dark shadow curls across the room towards TL. It reaches his feet and then solidifies into a sheet of white papers folded over several times.*
*TL smells the paper*
Ugh… Him…
I suppose this is supposed to be some ironic response to my summons of you?
Very well…
I’ll play your game…
*scoffs*
What a child…
*TL opens the paper*
TL
*The note has only two words written on it in an elegant script “Look Up”*
*TL snaps his fingers and 5 reapers rush into the room, each covering their own wall*
I make it a point never to have a blind spot…
*TL looks up*
TL
*The ground beneath TL opens up and suddenly he is falling into darkness*
Hail Agent T.L.
Thanks for keeping on. Does the Reaper Society provide a full uniform? And if so, how long does it last? Will it turn to dust at midnight or…?
It occurs to me, this could be an excellent Halloween defensive disguise option.
Seth
Yes of course!
We here at the reaper HQ take great pride in our uniformed officers…
With conformity comes order I always say!
I can send you a full uniform if you want…
And no, our uniforms are built to last through even the toughest battles, I can assure you I won’t be decentagrating anytime soon 🙂
TL
Hail Agent T.L.
Thanks for your reply. Then I will promote your ad through this post. What are you looking for in a candidate?
Anyone!
Now that reaper and I have lost our scythes we are at a major disadvantage.
We will need as many people as we can get.
As you know, on Halloween all the ghost from the underworld are free to escape, it’s our job to get them back…
Really the only requirement is that you can get the job done.
Also, word of warning to deputies, your not the only one looking for ghosts this Halloween, be wary of daemons, necromancers and rouge reapers.
Good luck!
TL
*looks at TL* You should really just say Luck, because for every bit of good luck we have we also have to have the same amount of bad
*I stand on a lonely hilltop and reach into the continuum “CORTEZ. It is time you came out. Let us talk, face to face, like men.”*
“I already tried that.” Cortez snarls, walking out of the shadows. “And you walked away.” Cortez wears a fresh new tuxedo, complemented with a red Rose. He carries the urn with Anubis’ head close to his chest.
*I look at Cortez with a nuestras expression* you were holding my people hostage. I don’t negotiate with terrorists. *I sigh and look into the distance for a moment before looking back at Cortez* and now you’ve brought that source of dark magic here undoubtedly to destroy me. But it will not succeed. *I look into Cortez’s eyes* I will offer you compete amnesty for what you have done. In return you must give up this useless quest for revenge. It will only end in more bloodshed, and not the one that you want. *My expression becomes slightly mournful* You are what you are because of me. And for that I am truly sorry. I never would have wanted this fate for any of my kin.
“Shut up!” Cortez croaked. “You don’t get to feel guilty. It’s too late for that.” Cortez sneered. “Look what you’ve done! To Ice, t-to Morgenstern! You’re the reason we’re like this.” He twisted the Anubis head on the urn, and buzzing hum resonated from the pottery. Cortez blinked a few times his eyes glassy. “How could you do that to your own child?”
*I look at Cortez sadly* because it is hardships that make you strong. Steel is tempered in fire. If I had taken away every hardship you and your brothers would have been weak. *the void key slips down into my hand and I hold it for a moment before dropping it* its your choice Cortez. Mürder me, have your revenge, and you will lose your grace, your innocence. *I look Cortez straight in the eyes as darkness passes behind mine* and you will become my mirror image.
“You’re so sick!” He yells in disgust. He shuts his eyes and reaches into the Hybrid hive mind. Come, brothers, he called. Come, sisters, he called. Witness the fall of the tyrant. As soldiers fell into line, a number soaring towards them in the sky from all directions, Cortez eyed the ruined remains of Lilith’s laboratory; converted in a Hybrid fortress. He addressed his father. “Yes. Witness.” He tore the jackal shaped cap off the urn, and immediately tons upon tons of black sand discharged out. The sand began to coalesce and build upon itself, becoming large black-skined jackal-headed warriors, wielding the weapons of ancient Egypt. He looked at his father with disdain, his anubian army falling into ranks. “I do hope my siblings attend. I love them so.”
*I glare at Cortez and reach into the continuum* “Run my children. I will hold these beasts off for as long as I can.” *I turn to Cortez and my eyes become cold* you could have been so much more then this. Look at yourself! You have done nothing but prove me correct! You are no different from me. You raise an army to confront one foe, as I have hundreds of times before. But you are driven by hatred, and desire for vengeance. And that is why you will fail, even if you do slay me. Because in the end you have nothing worth fighting for. *The knife jumps back into my hand as a sword appears in my other hand* but if it’s a fight you want, then a fight you shall recieve.
“Like Father,” he said dryly. He drew a blade of shimmering brass and spread his wings dramatically, feathers fluttering gently down. “Like Son.”
“And as above,” cooed a sultry, feminine voice. A vortex of darkness and electricity crashed down into the base camp of the Hybrids and like a butterfly emerges from a cocoon, from this cacophony of malice and hatred emerged Madama Shade, as she had been when she injured Ice. “So below.” She brought her cane to bear upon the residents of the camp who would assail her. “At last, vengeance shall be mine!” She screeched as she fought off Hybrid after Hybrid. “The time has come,” she called. “To spread the darkness abroad!” Like a curtain drawing upon a stage, a miasma of darkness blanketed the sky, the new battlefield covered in darkness, a darkness through which could not be shadow-travelled. A Hybrid ran into a wall as he tried to shadow travel, Madama Shade grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. “Where,” she said, politely. “Is the bastard son, Morgenstern?”
*I grab Madame shade by the shoulders and throw her against the wall* stop this Elizabeth! Leave them alone!
*Atop the hill Mutt raises his sword and a blinding light pierces through the darkness* Run children!!! RUN!
The dark woman touched Ice’s hands tenderly for a moment, “No one said you could touch.” Madama shade sneered gripping Ice’s shoulders in turn, shifting into a miasma of darkness and taking the Hybrid along for a ride. The cloud reformed into Madama Shade’s form, for just a moment appearing as a hur is before settling back to the norm. As Ice was left to fall in the sky, Madama Shade thrust her cane into the ground, balancing her stilettos on the silver tip. Black smog appeared in her hands and as she gripped the gaseous thing it formed into two black shiney pistols, she idley shot down a Hybrid flying over head, not even looking up, merely firing into the sky and watching him fall. She aimed at Ice this time. “Where is your other half?” She asked, ignoring the chaotic fighting going on around them, though her attention flickered toward the quarrel between Mr. Mutt and Cortez, considering.
*I tap Madame Shade on the shoulder* hello there dearly departed, did you miss me so much you decided to come back for an Encore? *I flick my wrist and Shade goes flying into one of the walls of the encampment* because you should have stayed dęåd.
From the rubble of the wall leaked shadows. These shadows swilled and coalesced into the form of Madama Shade. Her white face was frozen, her eyes wide and gaping at Morgenstern’s form. She held her top hat in her hands.
The newly released dragon flew over her and absently spewed blue flames upon her form before it moved to another area of the battle field altogether. She didn’t even flinch.
She flicked the item, and it flew towards Morgenstern at exacerbating speeds, darkness leaking off the thing as it shifted into a large, spinning bladed disk, coated in the dragons blue fire.
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’m the reaper of souls, here to put you into holes. No one can beat me, I’m the god of endings. And until you are defeated, I’ll be the god of beatings. Think your the only one knows how to control the shadows?” The Reaper materializes on the battlefield. Shadows wrapping around Morgenstern and Shade. “Ha, you couldn’t win this if you tried, I’ll control those who have dièd. I’m the chooser of the slain, and I am here to tell you, that’s you’ve been chosen too. This is Mortal Kombat, and your about to suffer a fátality.” Reaper tosses Morgenstern and Shade into a building
*I watch as Shade and Ice fly into a building and step to the side as the blazing piece of Metal flys past.* Nice try bone face, you got Ice instead of me. *I slam my fist down on Reapers head and he disappears into the earth* Now, back to buisness. *I turn towards Shade*
Madama Shade retrieves her staff, it shrinks to just above her height. She spins it around in her hands with added flair. Her hat now absent, shade runs a milky white hand through her midnight hair. Shade’s eyes look toward Morgenstern with nothing but scorn, but her mouth betrayed her excitent and she smiled. “I spent so long in that Hell,” she quipped, balancing on the tow of her left boot and spinning. She stopped and jumped up, landing on her hand. She made motions with legs that were something like dancing. “Not even the endless experimentation of the Dame of Hell have quenche my hatred for you.” A Hybrid appeared in the scene, this one in particular sent out blasts of concussive force towards Madama Shade. At the first she morphed into the shadows and at each blast afterwards was delayed but a moment. The staff flew from the cloud and landed behind the Hybrid. She fell from the cloud and landed on top of the cane, balancing on the silver top with her hands. She and the Hybrid fought eachother, his fists connecting with her boots in rapid blows before she finally wrapped her legs around his neck. “Know, Morgenstern,” she screamed as she pulled her legs in and a very distinct snapping sound was heard from the Hybrid. “That this,” she dis mounted from atop her perch and land on the ground doing peiroettes. “Will be the last day.” She stopped spinning and stomped her heel into the ground. An enormous black heel composed of shadows descended and crushed the Hybrid foe. “Of your existence!”
*Light seeps from the Hybrid Shade kïlled and then flys into my mouth. I smile cruelly my eyes full of disdain* you are pathetic. You truly are a Shade, a mere Shade of someone that I once cared about…. No matter I’m not here for my defeat or a reunion. *I extend my hand towards Shade reaching out towards her, and suddenly her staff flys from her hands into mine. Patterns flair up all over the wood with golden light, one in particular shines brightest, a single star* did you forget who made this for you? True its corrupted over the years as you have, but still, it knows it’s maker. *I raise the staff above my head and a gold light begins to shine from its tip* now, to end these wars between Father and brother, Between you and I. *Gold light arches out in every direction and spears every being on the field through the heart except for me. As the army of Anubis crumbles, Hybrids begin to fall*
A Hybrid of brown fur, laying just a few feet from Morgenstern, hacked up red liquid. His eyes were glassy as he looked upwards. “W-why?” She asked. His sad eyes seemed to settle and they shut, a single tear escaping. “Thank you.” His voice was now clear and painless. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” He vanished. Body, mind and soul, there was no trace left. Another Hybrid near Morgenstern disappeared too. Then another and another, with ever-quickening pace.
Within half a minute, Morgenstern was left completely alone on a barren battlefield, Lilith’s facility looming ominously in the distance.
One of the few remaining souls limped towards him. Shadows congealed in her chest, trying to heal her. “I will not stop,” she whispered. “I will never stop!” She grasped him. “Not until you’ve–” She froze, before falling limply to the ground, totally lifeless. The shadows that had gathered around her fell away, seeping out of her chest. She was gone.
Cortez smirked. “It’s a good thing,” he said, as he pulled off his bow tie, tugging on one end until it all unfurled into one long, black ribbon. “I always come prepared.” His fingers released the ribbon, and instead of falling to the ground, it twitched and thrashed about violently, flying up and around the two Hybrids wildly. The ribbon flew up in the sky and widened and elongated, catching fire, bright blue azure flames engulfed it, and the growing, stretching thing began to change. It grew spines upon it’s back, comparatively smaller arms, two long whisker like appendages where it’s mouth formed, full of bright shining teeth. Blue eyes glowered as the flames went out, and the black oriental dragon cried out. Blue electricity jumped from its antlers as indigo flames spilt from its mouth onto the battle below.
Cortez seized the moment’s confusion and smacked Mutt’s blade with his own, before thrusting his blade towards Mutt himself.
*I twist screaming as the blade enters my shoulder. at the same time I fling the void key at the dragon hitting it in the belly, causing it to twist and then fold in on itself* You’re murdering your family! *I stop and look Cortez directly in the eye* Kįll me. Let them go, and just kįll me.
“But what fun would that be? Mutt my boy, I must admit, it’d be a good time to quit. But as you can see, I’m back and I’m ready to fight. Everyone in this fight will díe tonight. Your sons, they may put up a fight. But you’ll be far too busy dealing with me…” The Reaper shoots out the ground in full samurai battle gear, brandishing his sickle and 40 feet tall. “Salem couldn’t hold me, your spells won’t help you now hybrid…” The Reapers giant skull looked at Mutt with hollow eye sockets. “Because I’m going to finish it…” The Reaper took swing, chopping off the tops of buildings.
*a massive portal appears behind reaper as a man in red and gold gladiator armour walks through it having to bend his knees a bit* dammit it’s been years since that happened. Oh and reaper, *the man just snatches the scythe out of the reapers hand* Heimdal says I should take this away from you, please continue without your weapon of power. You know the thing that makes you powerless without. *the man and portal both dissappear*
*A blinding light flashes and I feel a pinch near the center of my chest, when I look down there is a hole the size of a baseball right where my heart was. Then the pain hits and I feel through the continuum every Hybrid screaming out in pain as we all dįę*
And as the Shade had, so too, were all the Hybrids; gone. Their presence was even absent from the Hybrid hive-mind.
“My dear Mutt,” the Pale Lady mused, standing over the First Hybrid’s deteriorating form.
Her long white dress had a bit of lace, adding something of an elegant, if somewhat weddingesque look to it. Her hair fell every where. She kneeled in the dirt, not petting herself with the mortal concerns, such as the dirtying of the immaculate garment.
She stroked his head, tenderly. “Shhh. It’s okay. It’s over now. They needn’t suffer anymore.” Her hand fell to his cheek. “And what of you? Will you let me take you as well?” She smiled at him. “Or would you stay here, and continue to walk this road of yours? Whatever is your wish,” she whispered, bending over so that her hair fell over his face, masking both their faces. “The decision rests solely with you.”

Darn. Hold up mutt Ive been moderated. Hard.
Seth wherever you are please moderate my comment DX
*For a moment I am tempted, I feel the life draining from me and feel dread for the oncoming battle, the struggle to claw and fight my way back into the land of the living. If I accepted I could just live on in paradise…perhaps I could finally find peace. But then I see Ice staring at a pile of ashes. Of course he had survived, my poor immortal son. Then my thoughts turn to Morgenstern, and the way I had failed him, Ice, and even Cortez… I had to make it right. I had to save my sons. I cough* no Rest for the wicked Lilith… *I relax as my body flashes up in an inferno of light*
“Indeed.” She looked down the hill, towards the ground where Morgenstern stood, and disappeared in Mutt’s fiery lights.
powerwolf:nooooooooo mutt *then powerwolf gets hit in the belly with a sword*mutt:LILITH NOT YET I CANT GO yYET I NEED TO SAVE POWER WOLF lilith:MUTT ITS TO LATE SHES ALREADY DEAD THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO mutt:yes there is i can save her *MUTT GOS DOWN AND SEES POWERWOLF THAT SHES STILL ALIVE THEN POWERWOLF SAYS THESE WORDS* powerwolf:just go mutt go i will see you on the other side just run and dont look back *then powerwolf closes her eyes and dies* mutt:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO POWERWOLF lilith:its to late mutt just take my hand and come cuz i have a suprise for you *mutt takes lilith’s hand and he sees powerwolf* mutt:powerwolf i thought i lost you never ever leave my i mean our sides power wolf:ok my friend
*sits down* hmmmm how peculiarly enticing but no clue twas inviting. What secrets there lay now that were not there before? Immortals in their fancy upon fancy enough to fill the void of the days of yore. But what testament be there now, a crooked man with crooked Kane and brow but still he seems to slumber, a crooked tear falls from crooked cheek as man has forgotten what it is he should seek. Gentle his walk, gentle his stride, gentle the wish by which he should abide. Surely thou art no kraven, worse an omen of death than the black plumed raven. Mind going round and round trying to comprehend the ideas in which my head abound. Poor old man walking down the run down road. Ever tireless never slowed, maybe that is the answer I keep, to awaken both comtemplance and man from their sleep. For now there are many a great sage but only four grand sages at this day and age. Father North, child of south, voice that speaks without need of word from mouth. Now the four need no extension fallen dream all now to the wit of my expression. Now breath in and contemplate deep, as I awaken you by putting you to restful sleep.
You did not just become a freestyle poet, just no
Just become? I have been writing poetry for years. I am renounced as a poet, as a painter, cook and bright mind. What I write, I write on a whim and so it always comes from the heart.
It is after all the hobby in which my natural mastery of my tongue comes into play, mermaids teach swimming classes, mummies work in a bandage factory and I get to employ the tongue of a drache in merry song I cannot go wrong. For tis a rhythm in steady heart like maestro from fiddle they never part. As I spin and rejoice in joyous riddle. From highest mountain to lowest valley I am outside altogether but in the middle. Indeed my tongue stupefied most mortal imaginings. As thine heart beats, mine speaks and always has something to say as my kind was known in many a quaint volume of forgotten lore to enjoy and partake in the riddling game forever more. Strange thy opinion why so much stress? For fun takes form of many a costume and dress. And as drache go I wear a grand bouke of flowers as my tongue can spin tales for hours and hours, dreaming and daunting, flaunting and gaunting terrible imagining upon grand fancy and wondrous tale upon glorious reflection if poetry were a skin color I would shine like the mystical moon in it’s pale complection.
that was awesomely done
Thank you, I’ll admit I have always loved making stories and poems. It is how I express my emotions and lock them away on a page. But writing them makes me happy enough.
*I stare at the spot where my sister had been moments before. We had been fighting our way towards Cortez when the light had flashed. Her face looked so surprised… And then nothing. She was gone, with only her knife left laying on the ground. Morgenstern… I saw him lower the staff… He must have caused this… I grab the knife off of the ground and begin to walk perposefully towards him, after all this isn’t the first time I’ve fought an enemy with unimaginable powers…. He kìlled all of them, my entire family… I clench the knife tightly* I’m going to gut you Morgenstern.
“It’s your turn, Ice.” Lilith whispered, as she appeared in front of him. “I have raptured them away. I think you should consider the offer, as well,” she smiled. “De ath will not be a punishment.” She walked towards him, and placed a hand on his shoulder. “But a reward.” She touched the hand with the blade in it. “I know how tempting revenge is, which is why I must sway you away from it.” She lowered his hand, and pulled him into a hug. “For I love you. Ice, who is left to the most pain. Ice, who is left to the greatest guilt. Ice, child of many hurts.” She pulled away to look him in the eyes. “Will you still give into hatred and malice,” she asked. For a split second they were surrounded by all the Hybrids, in a large grassy field, a smaller Hybrid ran around, running an laughing while he held the string of a kite, chased by his friends. But then it ended and they were left on the barren battlefield. “The decision, rests solely with you.”
*I look Lilith in the eye* it is my fault that he exists, more so even then Fathers. I know him, I am him. He will not rest until your world is burned to ashes. He needs to be stopped now, while it is still possible to stop him… *I look down at the blade in my hand and in my head hear the screams of a dying world, the world I had slain and then look up at Lilith* I don’t deserve paradise any more then he does. *I begin to run towards Morgenstern knife in hand*
“No!” Lilith again appeared in front of Ice, in the path he was running. “Ice, if you do this, you will become something darker than you could possibly imagine!” she pleaded, distress apparent in her voice. “Please, just let me talk to him. Just give me a few words, and after that do whatever you want, please.”
*A sword slices through Lilitgs form turning her to mist and I stand on the other side. I sheath my weapon and then look at Ice with blank eyes* come brother, let’s see what you intend to do.
*I level the knife at Morgenstern* you have committed an act of genocide against the Hybrid race, as the last living Hybrid in this world I condemn you to dęäth. *I lunge forward and plunge the knife into Morgenstern and slashed upwards severing the muscles all the way up to his shoulder*
Lilith materialized a few yards away from the two, and simply stared at Morgenstern. She set up walls within her mind, shutting behind them those things, those impulses of a god, that told her to annihilate the Hybrid for even daring to speak without being spoken to, to a being of her magnitude. She released a breath and looked behind her.
“There you are,” she said, to the limp body of Madama Shade. She sauntered casually over and kicked it with her foot. “Wake up.”
Shade’s eyes flew open as she took one long, serendipitous intake of breath, arching her back against the wall. “How?” she managed, between coughs and breaths.
“We made a deal,” Lilith stated, curtly. “You have not yet taken what I promised you.” She made a grand gesture towards the battle between the two brothers. “I keep my promises. All of them. Take what is yours. Do what I gave you this power to do. Vengeance.” Shadows flooded into Shade’s chest and her body healed.
“Yes,” Shade whispered, glaring at Morgenstern’s back intensely as Ice struck him. “A remarkable idea.” Lilith’s form vanished and Shade began to walk over, nearing the struggle.
*I smile at Ice and raise my eyebrows* really? Even with the acid on the blade I’m surprised you would think that would work. *against all reason my injured arm moves up faster then thought and suddenly I’m holding Ice by his neck* I’ve far surpassed the need to have a material body, I only use it to interact with the material world, like a marionette pulling puppet strings. *I clench down on Ices throat as I regard the situation around me* hmm I think I’ll turn you into a human so you can finally dįę like you’ve always wanted. And I know your trick for resisting altering, and I know you can’t do it anymore. Goodbye Ice. *I glare at Ice and his wings shrink into his back and he cries out in pain. I laugh and then turn faster then a thought and fling Ice with brutal force straight into Shade.* I’ll see you in Heaven Lilith! *I dissapear in a flash of golden fire*
“Wait!” Lilith pleaded, appearing in Ice’s path. “Just give a chance, just let me talk to him, I beg of you! If you indulge this desire you shall become something darker than you could possibly imagine!”
“Please. Just a few simple words.” She begged. “Don’t do this to yourself, Ice. Please, I beseech you.”
*a cat crawls into Lilith’s arms, tied to her back a USPS box, attached a note that says, “Open the bottle”*
TL
*Lilith open the bottle and a black cloud go’s to ice turning him to what he was before he became human* ice:I’m back to my other form wwg:good now we can go beat morenstern real bad owwwwwwww Lilith:what are you guys waiting for let’s go then
