Kairos tries to clear his lungs and find out what's happening.
5 mins ago
Oddly he seams to already be standing as he wakes, in some sort of farm. However all the plants are withered and dying, daycaying bodies litter the field as they slowly turn to dust, and the fields are full of the dust from the crumbling bodies.
2 mins ago
stevenroast
He looks to see if he recognises any of the bodies. What's left of them.
just now
Many are bones or less,u some yo recognize as peopleynou, people you have slain... then you can see the rotting but living(?) body of some one you where hired to kill reaching out for you eyes full of pain and hatred. Past them all, deep in the field a twisting vortex of dust and darness like a tornado pulling in all the death.
stevenroast
He moves towards the former target. Remaining wary and at a safe distance. An eye kept on the storm.
23 mins ago
Winds how with the dust of the dead making it rather hard to breath. As you walk it seams those you gave a good death are all dust and bones.... it's the ones you didn't need to kill that are recognizable, or even in pain. There is a lot more than you remeber.

Kairos struggles to comprehend it, he always tried to deliver a good death when he believed it was deserved. There should be no suffering, death should be a release. confronted with the half dead that litter this field in pain highlights all his worst mistakes.
just now
Many came before he joined the order ofcrose... walking out of the field though it looks like what might be some sort of farm. However the whole area is ingulfed in the twisting wall of dust and darkness before him.

Kairos can't stand to see the suffering, this was a cruel mockery of his beliefs.

stevenroast
Hi makes his resolve to uphold his duty and do what he can to give a good death to those on this field that are trapped in painful limbo between life and death.
just now
It takes a long time, facing and giving peace to so many people. But as he dose so the dust starts to clear away some. By the time he's done it looks like a battle field around a farm, with a little twisted smoke here and there from the bodies, and the storm in the middle. The storm though is much weaker and the outline of an old farmhouse can be seen inside.
40 mins ago
stevenroast
He walks to the farmhouse to investigate.
36 mins ago
The wind and dust stings hurting quite a bit as it cuts at him, but he's soon through. He finds his old farmhouse there much the way he left it. In the ruins he sees a bit of a glimer of light as the storm disapears. It's the necklas that awoke him.
31 mins ago
stevenroast
Kairos fishes it out of the rubble to examine it.
29 mins ago
It looks much they way it did before it awoke him. He don't get much time to exsamine it though before what looks like him when he was younger, cut up and bloody, tackles him and snatches up the droped necklas and stumbles back getting to his feet with a shakey sword drawn at you. "You bastered"

"Woah there kid, calm down" Kairos raises his hands to show the young Sebastian he meant no harm.

"You killed them... and for what? THIS?" he hrows the neckless down crushing it between a stone and his feet. The magic released he charges you in rage slashing at you with his sword.

Kairos instinctively reaches for his own sword to defend himself with.

He dosn't relent on his attacks just because you drew your sword.

stevenroast
Kairos tried to deflect and parry the blows the younger version of himself was unleashing. His blind rage palpable.
3 mins ago
He was getting wounded though, from unseen attackers... actionaly he attacked at them aswell.... this was all a mirror of things already happened, something he all to clearly remembered.
just now
stevenroast
"I'm not your enemy...Sebastian!" this was where Kairos discarded that name, ran away from this home and reforged himself as Kairos. It took a lot for him to refer to the younger him as such
25 mins ago
This didn't seam to be something Kairos could change, he didn't even seam to hear him. He took the same wounds aswell and was soon stagering away colapsing on the ground.
19 mins ago
stevenroast
Kairos tries to remember what's going to happen next in some hope of being prepared.
17 mins ago
The same large wound through his chest burns open blood and entropy spraying out. As the entropy flows forth the home rebuilds itself around him, and the fields outside can be seen to grow again, the skys growing clearn. But the bodies of those who died that day.. .the blood of the fighting filled the homestead.
9 mins ago
stevenroast
He wades through the blood to see what has changed, half marveling at being home again, even stained with all the blood.
4 mins ago
Things were diffrent, the blast of entropy came knocking Kairos back,. But everything... everything was being sweep away... and the entropic energys and primordial power was consuming Sabastion rather than invigerating him...... The disolate landscape left in the wake of the blast started to shift and grow again but the coming view was no more encuraging than the last. He saw before him past the entropic puddle that was his formor self a masive shattered tower that reached into the sky. Parts of it were falling to the ground like falling stars... while others dirfted like they whre wightless. Far above was not the sky he new but a thick fog perced only by the large crack of the abyss in the sky pulling the fog in, and near the abyss the tower's other base rested.
just now
Angels and demons battled in the distance and if he looked behind him he saw the middle "base/larger segment" of the in pices and ingulffed in moental fire as a point of blinding light moved around it and the broken pices slowly came together. All while the puddle before bim bubbled and rose into the figure of a tall man in all black armor He held a sword who's hilt was like the body of a dragon, and blade radiated with entropy.. and while thing like it was carved out of a single pice of the darkest of ebony. Over his armor grew what looked like dark Kudzu with large thorns, and over his sholders was a cloak of raging fire. The odd man rose the sword to point it at Kairos.

He readies himself for the duel. Slowly circling his opponent, looking for the moment to make the first strike or to receive it and counter attack.
just now
He seams to be waiting on you. "There is something we found to powerfull to give a good death. But what we gave it we made it far weaker." he says looking past you, then to you. "You must finish what we started, now show me you can."
29 mins ago
stevenroast
Kairos doesn't speak, surges forward with a slash of his sword.
25 mins ago
He parries with his own his own sword, its close but luckly he knocks your sword away and hits you in the head with the broad side of his. "Is that all you got?" (you both got 8 acutaly lol)
20 mins ago
stevenroast
He dives for his sword to attack again. "What is it? What could be so powerful?"
14 mins ago
This time his block is efortless and he knocks the sword out of your hand. "The sword is an exstention of yourself... but so is your magic... let them flow together, let it guide your hand. You trust your body and your sword to strike true. You magic will guilde your hand aswell if you let it" With an almost eforless swing of the sword of his sword it comes down just as you retreive yours and rise to defend... the blade sweeps past yours and strkes in the crese beteen your sholderblases where there is little armor.
er x.x sorry it's late.... between the sholder pad and the brestplate....
10 mins ago
stevenroast
Kairos rolls with the strike and does as he encouraged himself. He calls upon entropy to guide him.
8 mins ago
This time it's a close call but you almost hit him, he laughs some in what sounds like an aproving manor.
4 mins ago
stevenroast
He tries again unrelenting, twisting his magic into guiding his whole body.
just now
The next few attacks land on him but he seams to be in no hurry to strike back, just blocking and parring when he can.. and taking the blows. Now they seam quite equaly mached though, he fights (deffesivly mind you) much like he would... but he keeps watching the falling tower pices paticuarly the ones being built onto the fallen center and the towers keystone withen... as it's finished and fire starts to spread over the mountens he looks to you "This fight is over for it is time for another and you must go." The light from the sidways tower pice grows even brigther as it is finished and the fire spreads like wildfire ingulfing everything. The heat is familar... he was just bomed and draged through a fire not too long ago.. but it's far from wecomed.

The flames pass over him but when they are clear he is in a city that is aflame, people fleeing, people fighting, and mostly people burning.

He looks around for anything recognisable.
To much has been damaged by the fire, but heen he sees a man in armor fighting another... he on't recognize the sigil of the one... but the other is camalots sigil.

Kairos is confused as to what is happening but he swore an oath to protect his king. He charged onwards to the castle.
just now
You find a trail of slain knights, some of wich you know, aswell as looters, attacking knights, civilians... there so many diffrent crests and sigils it didn't make much sense. But it all lead him to the table. The room was full of bodies and over the table was a bloody excalabler with Author sitting there behind it.... your sword was also laied out before it's seat.

""... The price of freedom is death" Kairos quoted the man of an age long past.

(hey to him it's an old ass quote)
He shook his head "So the dream of camalot is just a dream..... you didn't have to give up on that dream"

stevenroast
"It would be wonderful to live in a world where it could be true, but there is still too much darkness in this world, and in the hearts of men. I didn't leave Camelot because I didn't believe in the dream, I left because I outgrew it. It's a child's fairy tale, it embodies the nobility, righteousness and strength that our land needed at the time. But it's an innocence I had to leave behind.
"
4 mins ago
"You outgrew your oath then? It was a dream you swore to fight for"
4 mins ago
stevenroast
"No! Never!" Kairos raises his voice at having his honour brought into question, but but quickly backs down before the king "The oath is what guides me every day, for Camelot isn't just a place for the round table, king Arthur and his knights. It's an idea. An idea like that is something the people can aim for, give the people noble aspirations and goals for their lives. The problem is your life's goals must always be out of reach, lest you reach your goal and then go no further, stuck. That's what Camelot became to me, the place I was stuck, Static, and going no further in my journey.
1 min ago
stevenroast
So I sought to go out and find new vistas, spread the ideal of Camelot to new lands so that they may aspire to have even a fraction of the paradise you created. But with the power to grow beyond that, to find our own paths. Set new goals.

"So bring camelot with you and leave it where you go..... Vectoria Station was as close to the ideas as they have up there... a place where everyone is welcome and keep safe...... look what happened to it, it's just a cloud of dust."

If the dream can live for even the briefest moment that is enough for me. I've come to accept that dreams can't last forever. Eventually they all fade, but the memory of them can guide us still.
10 mins ago
The boddies in the room start to fade away. "Yes, but our camalot hasn't" the smell of smoke is soon gone as as he talks the blood sood passes aswell. "You will have to fight for our dream harder than any of us have fought before.... are you shure your ready for that?"

If I can keep the dream alive, if I can give the people something to believe in, I will do whatever is necessary.

Kairos breathes deeply for a while, collecting his thoughts. I am prepared to die a thousand times over if it will further the cause. I am ready.
"well it's not the sword you need.... but its a sword."

He waves his hand to your sword on the table.

stevenroast
He picks up his old sword. "Your Majesty? What do you ask of me?"
2 mins ago
The sword glows with intence light, quentessence twisting about it as it looks newly forged rather than the old rust damaged one you have. "Keep your oath, fight the good fight" The energy riples out ingulfing you filling you with a surge of energy. The exspeirance is rather like when you first awoke and came back to life only cleaner and not nearly as strong... yet still you haven't felt anything quite like it sense that day. You awaken in your bed aboard the ship invegerated in ways that are hard to discribe, insperation flowing through your mind not like being kissed by a muse as some might say but more like making love to one.
just now
you can start with rotes up to how many spheres you can have sense you started with, being that you didn't make any rotes you can make 8 for free... your arete is going up.... and your desteny is going to go up
