Trux: spitting blood You wanna fight like this, you got it. Truxiouse advances towards Ramethus and delivers an uppercut, which Ramethus blocks and counters with an uppercut of his own. Truxiouse dodges this and delivers a swift punch to the ribs of Ramethus. Winded, Ramethus receives a knee to the face, an elbow to the chest and a roundhouse to his midsection sending him reeling before he can react. Sefiny gives a left jab to Truxiouse from behind, but before it can find its mark Truxiouse turns around and catches the punch in his left hand. He extends Sefiny’s left arm across the front of his body and in the same motion brings his right palm to the elbow of the extended arm. In a grotesque crack the elbow bends in a direction opposite to which it is supposed to. Sefiny lets out a cry of pain but is quickly silenced by flip kick which sends her flying back. As Ramethus turns his attention toward Truxiouse, Sefiny takes hold of her broken arm and grits her teeth. In one quick and painful motion she jerks the arm back to its natural position. She gets up just in time to see Ramethus flying towards her, a beaten bloody mess again. Trux: I grow tired of these foolish games. fire juggernaut Suddenly the area is caught by heat of almost elemental proportions as the summon appears. The air catches fire and burns away, causing typhoon force winds to rush into to vacuum, but rather than extinguishing the flames the wind pushes the fire to a central point, which explodes violently revealing a hulking mammoth not too dissimilar to a Torment standing there. The summon ablaze with flames shoots a stream of elemental fire towards Ramethus. Ramethus’ barrier of course absorbs all of the fire, what it cannot absorb however is the giant claw that strikes Ramethus and sends him flying back. The Juggernaut had teleported along the elemental fire stream and struck him by surprise. Sefiny: Looking at Ramethus. By now her shattered elbow had almost completely healed. You alright? Ramethus:The gaping wounds across his chest and face healing as he speaks Yeah, just caught a little off guard Sefiny: “I warned you to be careful.” wailing banshee appearing and looking just like the previous Banshee she again opens her lips and sings a most beautifully destructive song. The elemental winds of the Banshee extinguish the Juggernaut’s the flames and then tears through its flesh, ultimately the Juggernaut meets the same fate that the E. Torment did. Trux:Genuinely annoyed I’m sick and tired of that ***** killing all of my summons.maelstrom, frozen anguish The lightening bolt hits Banshee into the air before she can fade out. In obvious pain she does not make a sound, lacking the ability to speak she screams silently as the frozen rain from the spell drives through her body like bullets. The vast amount of blood she spills stains her white gown fully red, mats her crimson hair and drips to the ground, freezing to form the familiar pillars that Sefiny was stuck upon not too long ago. Before she herself freezes Banshee looks pleadingly at Sefiny who can only cry apologetic tears. Again the thunder comes and shatters the body, but before the pieces can hit the floor an ice tornado lifts them and shreds them to a fine powder before turning to fire and burning them to nothingness. Trux: There that’s better. Sefiny: I’m so sorry, I….. ---  Faye Wong -No Regrets-

Sefiny rushes Truxiouse and as he readies himself to block an attack she tackles him and starts her assault. Punches fly faster than the eye can see and Truxiouse’s face gets as bloody and broken as Banshee was, Sefiny is doing damage faster than he can heal. Long after Truxiouse has stopped moving Sefiny is still furiously punching away. Looking at her fists she realizes that blood on them does not all belong to Truxiouse, the bones of her knuckles protruding through the skin being a big indication of that. Finally she stops and Sefiny starts to get up, but stops, bends back down, grabs Truxiouse’s unrecognizably bloody head and gives it a quick twist, breaking his neck. She gets up and turn to walk toward Ramethus. as the two embrace, they hear a slight moan behind them. Not at all surprised they see Truxiouse slowly rising, most of the blood on his face having already disappeared. The two enjoy one last moment of the embrace before separating and readying themselves for another round what promises to be a very long fight. Trux: We could do this all day and until the end of eternity and still not be finished. Stars are immortal. You can’t kill me……I can’t kill you. But I’ll cause you as much pain as I can………………polished glass, physics pane with the physical barrier spell cast Truxiouse now advances toward the other two fighters, ready to wrack revenge upon his assailant. Sefiny notices that Ramethus as just suddenly dulled the psychic link between them, but excuses it to strains from the battle as she turns her attention to more pressing matters, like the fist that was about to make contact with her face. She brings up her arm just in time to block it and counters with a right handed punch of her own to his midsection. Dismayed but not surprised her blow glances of Truxiouse without doing any damage, the physical barrier had absorbed it all. But just as the punch lands she brings her elbow in as well into his waist. This again does no damage, but changes her position so that she now has her right side facing Truxiouse’s body with her right hand under his right arm. And in one smooth motion she brings her right hand up to Truxiouse arm and slides her hand down to his wrist while at the same time bring her left hand up to grab the wrist as well. In all his smugness Truxiouse does not realized what Sefiny has done before it is too late. Knowing that she could not harm him through a physical barrier she had feigned the punch and instead had positioned herself to throw over her shoulder Truxiouse, which is just what she did. The evil star lands quite a ways away with a loud thud, buying time for Sefiny to cast her own physical barrier, which she does. Trux: Feisty little girl aren’t cha? Sefiny: I try my best Trux: I hate feisty. Sefiny: I hate you even more. Trux: pulls back for a turn punch linear zero, zero spike as Truxiouse begins his turn punch his fist and forearm glow bright blue. In very slow motion it can be seen that a flame like blue glow flickers violently as his fist arcs through the air. When the arm is fully extended the glow lurches forward from the fist and starts to extend toward its target. The blue energy grows longer and more slender. With one end still attached to the fist as the other end speeds towards its victim the energy is a sliver of blue light elongating in Sefiny’s direction. Normally a magical attack is reflected by a magic barrier and a physical attack would pass right through one. The magically phased physical sliver shatters it as delicately as stone flying through a stained glass window. Continuing on, the sliver meets the skin tight physical barrier and is stopped in it tracks but the magical energy backing the sliver sails easily through and tears open Ramethus’ abdomen. ---  Faye Wong -No Regrets-

Ramethus: re-establishing his psychic link with Sefiny “So I guess this re-pays you for what I did before” Sefiny: “Thank You, I………..my god, Ramethus what are you going to do….Ramethus.” Ramtehus!!!!! Ramethus: broken helix, martyrstrife Sefiny: Ramethus!!! NOOOOOO!!! Truxiouse: broken he… ?……NOOO!!! butterfly kiss but it was too late, the healing resurrection spell closes the wound in his abdomen but Ramethus was already dead. Sefiny now knew why Ramethus had severed their psychic link, something she knew she should have paid more attention to because it had never happened before. She learned everything when the link was re-established, and he was right she would have never allowed it if she knew. When Truxiouse said out loud the statement about stars being immortal, it really hit home. Of course he knew that all along, but to actually here it said had a much more profound effect. during the fight he had realized that things weren’t as black and white as they had seemed. The spells they had cast, crystal lightening, marionette were every bit as painful and cruel as Truxiouse’s maelstrom spells. When Banshee was killed he had wanted to do that same thing that Sefiny had done, he felt the horror, the pain and the loss as well. But during the fight Truxiouse had lost two of his own summons. True they were mindless beasts, more like pets than the sentient friend that Banshee was, but they were still killed just as violently. It seems that the Northern Star and Truxiouse weren’t as dissimilar as once thought. However many the similarities during battle though, Truxiouse has committed many grave transgresses that the Northern Star, nor any other star for that matter, would ever fathom conscionable. His very existence threatens the UNIVERSAL REALITY, and he shows no remorse for his actions. For this he must be stopped here and now, no matter what the cost. Sefiny would never approve, but Ramethus would not give her that choice. Sefiny: Still shocked at Ramethus’ death, but turning her attention to Truxiouse, knowing that she must act quickly there is a very peculiar balance in the UNIVERSAL REALITY. Stars are for all intents and purposes immortal and cannot be killed, not even by another Star. This is to keep the number of stars balanced throughout the UNIVERSAL REALITY, and this balance in turn brings balance throughout all REALITIES. The Northern Star and the few other binary star entities are an exception. They are one star and truly one being with one mind and one soul, sharing two bodies and two trains of consciousness. Still immortal, one half of the binary entity can refuse its own resurrection and regeneration when mortally wounded, that is the broken helix class of spells. This does not affect the UNIVERSAL balance since in the case of the Northern Star, Sefiny still lives on as the star. The rules of the UNIVERSAL REALITY allow for half of a binary star to die because it does not affect balance, but also allows for the surviving half to determine whether there truly is balance. This peculiarity in the rules is one of the reasons why binary stars, particularly the North Star are of such high power and stature. the casting of martyrstrife gives Sefiny the power to check the UNIVERSAL balance. She is the surviving member of a binary entity; she alone now has the power to decide whether everything is still in balance with the death of her other half. Meaning she can choose to eliminate the being who caused Ramethus’ mortal wound if she chose to in the name if UNIVERSAL balance. Which she does.

Sefiny reaches out her right forefinger and as if there were a pool of water vertical to where she stood ripples begin to expand from her point of touch. The ripples expand upward until infinity as if carrying an all-important message. The harbinger of the ultimate summon begins as a warm light that shines from above, not un-similar to that which one would experience on a cloudless spring day. It floods the empty reality with a divine golden glow that seems to bring happiness to everything it touches. The light subsides leaving only one golden spark floating high in the air between Truxiouse and Sefiny Truxiouse: casting barrier spells in vain polished glass, mystic inertia, physics pane, perfect mirror, omniwall the point of golden light slowly expands, until it becomes a bright perfect sphere roughly three feet across. The golden glow dims to reveal long flowing golden hair, then the silhouette of a naked figure tucked into the fetal position. As the figure straightens the image of a divinely beautiful woman can be seen, her hair billowing in non-existent golden wind. She exudes a sense of pure, unspoiled innocence. Her perfect pale skin is hidden by the brilliant golden light that bathes her. In one sudden explosive motion she stretches her arms out at her side and crosses her legs at the ankles while throwing her head back; her form now familiar to that of a crucifix. At the same instant gorgeous angelic white wings spring forth from her back , whose brilliant white glow mixes wondrously with the golden light already present. The image of the totality it so glorious as to make mortal men weep in happiness. the angel of angels now turn her attention to Sefiny. She looks at her quizzically and innocently as if to ask her summoning were not a mistake. The look on Sefiny’s face answers her question and the angel turns her attention Truxiouse, who is obviously shaken. The many purple lightening bolts that he sends at her are either absorbed or pass through her harmlessly. She looks sadly, almost apologetically at him and casts JUDGMENT. Angel stretches her wings, which seem to grow as she reaches out with them, and indeed they do. They continue to grow and expand until their size overwhelms Angel herself, until compared to the wings she is but a dot connecting them. The wings come together once in a mighty flutter that creates hurricane force winds. In the midst of the mighty gust the wing open again this time emitting a horrifically eerie blue-white glow. Sefiny hides her eyes as the elemental innocence beam down upon Truxiouse. All of the barriers he has set up is shattered and disintegrated without effort and at that moment Truxiouse’s existence ends. He is not destroyed or vaporized, he just simply ceases to exist. ---  Faye Wong -No Regrets-

The mighty wings close again and at the same time shrink back to normal size. When they open again Angel is there, visibly exhausted. Still full of innocence and hope she now carries with her a solemn aura as well. She falls, spiraling from her position in the sky. Sefiny is there to catch her and set her down, she will okay, she is just worn out from her spell is all. Angel looks up and smiles happily, all sense of solemnity having left her. Sefiny gives her a hand and helps her up. The two exchange knowing glances and Angel wraps her wings around herself and in a blinding flash of imploding light she is gone. When the light subsides enough to see again, Sefiny is there kneeling at Ramethus’ side, she starts to cry. Stars aren’t usually supposed to cry or have any feeling for that matter. These aren’t usual circumstances. Two stars died that day, stars aren’t supposed to die, they aren’t. Perhaps it is the time she has spent down with Cynthia in the mortal plane. She cries for the event of the day, and then she bends down and weeps. She weeps for her brother, her lover, her very SELF. For Ramethus was all these things to her and much more than words can say. She weeps from a grief much deeper than that from the lost of a spouse or sibling or these things combined. The grief of a star is non-existent until it manifests itself, then it is un-containable. There Sefiny wept for eternity and a day. When it was over and her grief had left through her tears she got up and walked away. She closed the door upon that reality never to be opened again, leaving behind and locking away the insanity that had transgressed there. She went back home to her point of light in the sky, a home that she had left with another. There she sat and looked upon the earth to observed the events that she knows are about to take place. She had preserved the UNIVERSAL REALITY, now she will watch and to the best of her ability guide and protect her that must save the mortal REALITY. And when all is said and done she will sit upon her thrown and watch and remember until the end of time. -Cut back to the scene - ---  Faye Wong -No Regrets-

(OOC: Now you see why I’ve been putting off writing this? Sorry I said I would post earlier but Thanksgiving and stuff got in the way and now I am late for schoolwork. I hope you enjoyed. Geez, those last two posts are shorter because there just wasn't a good place to cut for the 4K limit. SAM as your Truxiouse and my Truxiouse are of different realities I don’t think this would interfere with your story too much. Hope it’s okay) ---  Faye Wong -No Regrets-

Icefall and Nalyr pause in the darkness as she ponders the old book and spell. Strata's Strength was one of many spells to be actually lost due to mind erasure, leaving only the name and impact of what it did behind. There is no recount of any words for it in any written manner. Those who might have seen its power first hand are long gone by now as well, yet this is the only spell which might close the rip in reality. The focused page of the book begins to zoom in quickly in her mind's eye. It zooms past the words, deep into the fibers of the paper. Icefall cautiously sits down in the nothingness, unsure of what to make of all of this. Slowly the image begins to pull back, showing the same tattered page, but different words now there. ...what? But how? Icefall slightly shakes her head, but the image remains. Nalyr gently rubs his head next to hers in a reassuring manner. The energy collected between the two of them stirs restlessly, wanting to either be cast or released. Icefall gives a short, worried sigh although no sound is made in the darkness of the rift. She calls upon the Seraphim's Chalice and the last bits of worry and fear not reduced by the angel spell fade into the background. A sacrifice to save countless others...the journeymen, the Light Solar Mage camp, people in numerous villages, Nalyr's family, a wide variety of plants, trees, and animals...the words of Strata's Strength will still remain unknown to the world, yet they will save it... Icefall begins to invoke the spell of power sink, hoping it will still work from within the rift.
