As you meditate and clear and center your mind in the morning ruitines you find your mind drifting like on a curent and it soon feels like your falling away from everything. As your eyes open the shotty Hadies hotel is gone and the baren waistland of Ploto with the familar sights of Charon and Cerberus hang overhead.

"Hm,"

Boogie Down
The thought felt loud
Suprizingly... he could make said sound.. and talk if he tried....
8 mins ago
Boogie Down
"Ah. Mm. Hmph..." Ix realized what was happening, but hadn't felt this experience since his final initiation through death's door and back.
He knew it was but a temporary thing
2 mins ago
This may as well be the same things from the looks of it.....not far from him was a wall of darkness like the event herion of a black hole, the lights around it of the stars twisted and distrted and the air rippling and drawn in. He was looking at the entrance to the shard realm of entropy. It should be sealed up with heavy wardings and walls but it was just here alone.... no one used this anymore. They used a much safer gateway in the shard realm and keep this one under quarinteen
Boogie Down
"Feels like home," he muttered sarcastically. He felt himself out, trying to see what form he'd taken THIS time. Animal, person, spirit...who was he?
25 mins ago
he was what ever he felt most comfertable with most likely just the way he was when he was meditating
17 mins ago
Boogie Down
He clenched his familiar fists together, don't himself in naught but the thick ceremonial fur battle skirt of ancient Mayan past
He looked to the portal, wondering if he was strong enough to pass beyond the portal before feeling himself drawn in
13 mins ago
There was little else in the area. Unlike the real Pluto where the area was full of buldings, scanning equpment, and seals. This was bare as far as the eye could see. Only feature was the shadows, the moons in the sky, and the dark lightless rift.
9 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix resorts to to his normal walking gait, subtle confidence behind his stride into the empty desert. He began to analyze deeper into the emptiness of the rift, searching for unseen patterns...
7 mins ago
There was nothing at the rift, the pattern of the univurse just seamed to end as it came to the gateway.
4 mins ago
Boogie Down
"Fuck it," he mumbles, dipping down for a short moment before launching himself toward the gateway. His body feels light as he attempts to pass to the other side
just now
For a momment there was nothing no heat no light no feeling at all. Then frezzing he seamed to come out some where dark... as his eyes slowly adjusted he found himself in what looked like the basment of a butchury. Blood and bodies everywhere. But it was wrong, more so than just the scene, but everything looked like the collor was drained from it... decaying... rotting... the flow of entropy was stronger here than anything he had ever felt or seen before. Everything was adged and dying. It was like looking at the shadowlands only amplyfied. (think depths from darks souls + shadowlandsx2)
Boogie Down
Ix felt it, the incredible depression that felt like the deepest rift in the crags of despair. "I'm a killer...not a butcher..." He crosses his arms defiantly. "It is the wheel of time."
6 mins ago
There didn't seem to be anyone there to answer him, just a dim light lightly swinging in a wind blowing down from above, flickering as the power struggles under the entropy.
3 mins ago
Boogie Down
He growled defiantly against the hopelessness he felt, stepping through the basement towards the back of the room. His skin quickly became covered in blood as he stumbled over lumps of unidentifiable meats
just now
The meats were rotting vissably sence he had arived the magots imbeded in the starting to hatch. His fur armor was startig to grow warn. And the wood of the basment was slowly but noticebly rotting and being eaten away by termites. It might be acutaly some what interesting if it wasn't discuraging and discusting.
Boogie Down
Ix felt the warmth travel through his bones. He attempted to channel that warmth into a larger fire, spreading the Asia around him as he pressed on. "Disgusting minions of Fate."
5 mins ago
There wasn't much warmth to steal from the bodies the realm was cold but it was warmer than what he pased through atleast. The other side of the room did have a stairway up, and for now it seamed it would hold him, but at this rate he didn't know for how much longer it would stay that way.
1 min ago
Boogie Down
He cursed under his breath as he felt an abacus appear in his hand. He hurdled up the steps as fast as he could.
just now
The shop upstairs was as abbandoned as bellow, and the meats for sells rottener the smell ranced beyond discription, a harsh fridged win blowing snow and ash in from outside.
Boogie Down
He strides to the door, and peeked it open to peer into the cold outside. It seemed unbearable, but the smell of rancid-ness was not helping his decision
just now
What was outside was horror incarnate. There was no harizon, the sun in the sky he could see the night sky and the stars... though many seamed to have gone out. The meany realms as visable as from space. The Crown Storm Nebula looked as it if was ablaze heart of Talos reignighted in the night sky fueling the fires of the nebula and drawing togeter into a future sun. High in the sky a second smaller moon bleeding entropy down onto a dead earth, and draning the life blood from the celestrials corpse up to it horried power emeating from it..... and prohaps worce of all... not far away was the stump of the shattered Yggdrasil, the mighty tree dead and it's remains draped across the cosmose, foul poisons boiling about the roots in the distance.
"What is an end for one is a begenning for another... but this.... this is just.... this is not the wheel you cheerish so much. Is it so wrong to push the wheel along and end things... end everything... to prevent something like this from braking the wheel for good?"
"Think of it as a good death for the univruse"
Boogie Down
"That is a clever train of thought." He smirks and stares Lust down.
"But the problem is in the foundation of your beliefs."

Boogie Down
"Ending the universe ends the cycle. Creation and Annihilation are two different strings."
She shrugs. "Well it hardly matters to me anymore. Besides we can't really stand here and chat all day, if you stay here to long the storm will find you..... or he will...." She looks to the remains of Yggdrasil. "Besides there matters that fall into a more sorta 'curent events' kinda line that you should be looking into down bellow..."

((Man how your format txt on this thing my bad lol))

Boogie Down
Ix shrugged. He figured he'd rather be there than here. With a nod at Lust, he heard toward the stump
15 mins ago
Will note there runes and symbles about the moon one seamed quite familar
http://i223.photobucket.com/al...69/spherestelos1.jpg
14 mins ago
There did seam to be a pathway down into the ground between the roots that was safe, free of the poisons anywhere near it.
12 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix naturally assumed a low profile stance as he guided himself into the cavern. His eyes adjusting to the light.
9 mins ago
A diffrent wind started to find him as he walked lower and lower, one that keep growing stronger as light faded. A wind that started to becme familar the faint howling the shiver of faint thoughts and feelings not his own. The winds of the dead, not felt sense he too was breffely dead.
5 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix felt the wind surround him, and he tried to to resist the wind as he pushed forward. He knew death brings life in the end.
just now
Pushing his way down he found his way to the grate stairway of the underworld. The tempest howling around him. He didn't get to see many of the reports of the place, only read old discriptions and his breff momentary visit... but from his view so "high" up (rather relitive realy in a place of the mind) he could see things looked far worce than he had hurd. There was reports saying the condition in SR Entorpy and the underworld were getting bad... and that there had been a malestrom before the fall. But it looked like the malestrom was still calming down... the tempist was harsh and shadow eaten flowed about. The grate empire of steel was shatered it's cappital in ruins and patualy flooded as it's grate dam was broken.
Was this realy the way things were now?
Boogie Down
Remorse filled Ix's mien. He settled into the runs, searching for the rain behind this chaos.
(Answer. My b.)
15 mins ago
It took some time to traverse the staircase... or did it... it was hard to tell.. time seamed to have strange meanings here or none at all but it had to didn't it. it seamed to take forever but looking back it seamed to just have happened in a moment.... .so strange. Oddly there weren't as many shadow eaten around as he though by the fort at the base of the tower was abandoned even though many of the shards of crystalized passions that protected it where shattered, the stairway down deeper bair ungarded free for shadow eaten to crawl up. However in a undable amount of time he came across another soul. (give me a moment)
10 mins ago
The creature was an intemidating one but didn't seam hostel. It was eight feet tall and looked like a cross between a carian bird and a human, pure skin and bones literaly.. no mussle or oragns visable to be seen and it's skin dry and near translosent it's blood sken and black. It was covered in dark raggley sicken hairs iterwoven with skulls and bones and wore a steel mask with bright stones of crystalized lotaly in them. It's right eye pitch black and it's right a moss green and slightly glowing. It carried a MASIVE halbard/scyth with blades of a crystalized sense of duty. "You should not be here quick one."
2 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix stopped and bowed before crossing his arms. "Then please, Great One, why shouldn't I be? It's it not Fate that I am here? Don't you two work together?"
He reaches a hand out, feeling for his ancestral tomahawk
just now
He laughs shaking his head "Fate.... fate has abandoned us... for we are fools and have doomed ourselves. They thought taking what the shadow eaten held in revrence and using it as a weapon would save us and end the war......" he looked of in the destance "well, they were half right....."
He had the weapon... and any other close enugh to him that ie would be with him asteraly
Boogie Down
"Hmpf. And how were they wrong?" He spun the weapon behind his back to his other hand.
"Did you not deserve it through abusing your power? "
22 mins ago
He don't seam to pay much mind to you or your weapon. "Our power? It was yours.... we took the relic of the first atomic bomb, the first tool the living turely used for mass murder on a grand scale. While your world was or is? how ever it may be ... there was nearly a world war was there not a third one.... that is..... well.... it started here before it started there for once.... it was terrable and we were desprate... but then something woke up and a malestrome like none other porred up from the stairs and the empire of steel feel in a night."
"least this city did"
The assassin listened intently, flipping the weapon in a single hand. It was second nature to him in this world. "What can I do to reverse this damage? To calm this maelstrom? Perhaps we can bring the powers between Man, Fate, and Death back into balance."
just now
"Charon died to calm the storm.... One of the thiings that woke, one of the unborn, rose and he gave his life to drive it back to it's eternal slumber. After that Fate, her chosen, and the many of the ferrymen abandoned us. With out our king we are lost." He shook his head. "This is not a place for the quick and no longer even a place for the dead... what ever has awoken bellow will likely be the end of us all.... you should return to your realm and hope your death dose not bring you here."
Ix frowned, a broad expression that was surprisingly unmenacing."Stand aside, Great One."
"I will handle this...pressing matter...myself."

Bud Rush
(He was going to keep pressing forward)
18 mins ago
(ok just seeing)
He looked you over and to the stairs. "You would go where even the dead fear to tread... you are a strange one quick..."
15 mins ago
Bud Rush
Ix gives the Bird Man a final look before continuing on his way. But over his shoulder, he remarks, "Why fear what is futile?"
He terminates his tomahawk's rotation as heconfidetly strides the steps
13 mins ago
He shakes his head "Wait... I can not come with you, I have clamed the Seat of Dust but let me help you." He waves you to follow him to one of the buildings in the fort.
11 mins ago
Bud Rush
Ix nodded and followed behind to the building, his weapon held loose in his hand.
9 mins ago
There are some shadow eaten but multi collored flames and a surge of unblevable amounts of chaos erupted from the tall frail creatures hands seaming to burn them away to nothing. It was like a flickering twisting rainbow fire of death o.o Strainge to see, even stranger the inence wyld energies in a place so ruled by entropy.
6 mins ago
Bud Rush
What in Fate's Fingers...? Ix continued to follow behind cautiously as he took everything in. He'd never seen chaos and entropy in such a manner before
1 min ago
Watching and looking deeply into the beeing he could see something odd for the dead... a heart/seed/core of chaos embedded deep in his beeing, a tie to the flux realm. Searching he found what looked like a steel dagger and setting his scyth/halbard asside took it in his hands and broke it in half snapping the blade clear off, guess you really couldn't judge how strong/weak something was by it's looks down here. He then broke off a small pice of the halbards blade and walked to a forge. Placing a few crystals of various emotions into it he feuled them with his own until an entence emtoinal fire burned one so hot it melted his flesh some as he drove the two pices into the fire holding them together. He held them in there for a time that looked like it must be agonizing, though he didn't show any signs of pain. Then he turned, his arms glowing like heated metal, as he drove them and the weapon into a pool of ectoplasam. When it was colled he turned and held the dagger with the blade made out of crystaled sense of duty out to you to take.
just now
Note this blade will be astrealy with you... and responds to emotions like hope, pride, honor, duty and stuff like that.
Ix watched, emotions in check, as the Death Guardian forged the astral blade. he took it with both hands as hebowed to the guardian deeply. "Thank you, Great One." He felt his tomahawk fade away as the dagger took its place in his grip
He tested its weight, feeling it to be comfortable and possessing a sense of duty
6 mins ago
He coughed some nodding and taking his own weapon back in hand. "Take care you do not join us quick." He then turned sumbling along back along his walk through the city
5 mins ago
Bud Rush
He shook his head. "I won't." Ix watched him walk away for a long time before moving farther along the steps
1 min ago
As he desended the rock started to grow dark untill it was pitch black stone and at places ozzed oblivion from it's crevises. Vaines off crystalized angst ran through it in places and as the caverns around the stair opened up shadow eaten could be seen minning the ore, scraping the ovblivion form the walls, and braking the various unpleasen emotional formations free. Most of them seamed to pay little attention to him, others seamed afraid of the blade he weilded, some attacked but the blade stung them nearly as baddly as silver to a werewolf.
Ix held the blade in an upside down grip, flashing it quickly at any advancing enemy. He walked with purpose, feeling the weapon to gring him a sort of righteousness
Despite the darkness andshadows, Ix felt as though he was "above" the deep.
He pressed on with a steady mind and calm nerves
18 mins ago
As he followed the stairway down into the laybrenth, what many consider the true depths of hell, he found it not to be all that as inhabitied as it should be.... most of the shadow eaten were ravageing the 'serface'. There was still many they were held back by smaller more human shadow eaten that they seamed intemidated by, and that actualy seamed.... curious... . at the sight of a living being down here and let you contenue. After all even Ix knew the deeper he went the more 'into there clutches' he was anyway.
16 mins ago
Bud Rush
The feeling was increasingly grim, withthe majority of Ix/s confidence lying in his beliefs and blade. He kept his eyes forward, ntletting his gaze to sit too long on any particular shadow. I didn't need anymore attention than he was getting. I wonder why this place seems so vacant.
12 mins ago
As he dessended the ground shook violently, horrid sounds echoling up from bellow a terrable earthquake rocking the underworld and sending cracks up through the rock walls. Many of the weaker shadoweaten sacttered.
Bud Rush
Ix
10 mins ago
Bud Rush
Ix "breathed" out a curse as he bent his legs to stay steady. If the shadoweaten wererunning, he knew it couldn't be good. Still, he held his ground to see what was to come. The grip on his dagger tightened as he waited.
7 mins ago
The sound passed and after a while the 'earth' stoped shaking. Still the shadoweaten staied skitish of the stairway.... he could see bellow it was starting to open up wider and spirts.... both dead and shadow eaten were flowing down into the center of the the stairs bellow.
4 mins ago
Bud Rush
Ix waited a short moment after the shaking to be safe, then began to professionally creep down the stairs as he peered into the center.
just now
The shairs widdened and widened till they followed along the outside walls of the cavern. Bellow was a masive well like structuter with duzzons of shadow eaten around it ... worshiping the well. Some threw themselves into it... others being pushed or throw in. The flow of souls of dead and shadow eaten were being sucked down into the well, and over it hanging by chains was some sort of lantern with a strange erry green flame (not balefire) that it's energy was slowly being sucked down into the well as well.
Like lemmings, they are...
Ix tip-toed forward toward the well, blade at the ready for any unforeseen incoming threat. He peeked down into the well, then looked up into the lantern
3 mins ago
The well is miles across, masive and yet so many souls flow into it.... the normal black stone is broken by vians of white marble like substance that as he walks along it gives faint moans and whines giving the actional discharge o memories of people just before they died.... and others of people walking the same steps he did hoping the hasen the end of all things or least there un-life.
(so not to easy to just walk up and look down)
1 min ago
Thats when you realize looking around... some of these arn't shadow eaten... not yet... there simply dead that do not wish to die a second time.. .and for good.
ooc er that DO wish to die
Ix spins the ethereal blade in his hands before thrusting his dagger into a half-dead. I will help you meet your end. If it went smoothly w enough he would begin to massacre the half deads
11 mins ago
They scream as the pathos blade strikes them, it hurts them quite a bit... but not as baddly as the shadoweaten. As they die the ground seams to open up underthem a swirl darkness and a hole of light forming that sucks them down. There is a chuckle from behind you. If you turn you find standing some distance away an obsidan angel, nearly twenty feet in hight with six masive wings of the glass like stone in black metal frames that are rusted heavly. She is leaning on a Masve (even for her size, it's a gratesword) black metal sword with shards of angst sitcking out all over it, crystalized pure hate for all that is living. "You do them no favor.... there 'deaths' simply make them pray in the laybrenth above."
6 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix turned quickly at the sound of the creator's approach. "What is this thing's purpose? Why do the worship it?"
He brandished the weapon menacingly Sr the dark Angel
1 min ago
"It is the well of the void, where your univurse comes to and end and the things that well beyond.... us neverborn dwell." She shook her head walking forward and swinging hir blade slashing through duzzons of dead and shadoweaten together slaying them all in swing if bus sized grate sword.... it was then he could see it wasn't made of a dark metal... it was made of oblivion itself as the dying souls became absorbed into the blade. "The fools await the return of Grandmother... the call me the All-Consuming but they know not the meaning of the phrase for she is oblivion itself."
Many of the shadow eaten near by flee from the angry deadgod.
Boogie Down
Ix watched the sword sweep through the air, thirsty in murder of the souls surrounding it. While Ix's morality leaned toward s neutral perspective, Ix personally felt thing were incredibly out of balance
<Do I battle this thing?> He points as he tends his grip

*ponders, tightens lol
36 mins ago
"That would make you a grater fool than they." The angel said as she stood aside for a ragged old crone with a pair of masive sissors on her back carring a bucket and long coiled rope. She kneels at the well and starts lowering the bucket. "So you have not come to worship or throw yourself to the void... why are you here, quick?" Unlike the masked man she spet the word with discust.

Ix seemed to stand immobile as he gave thought to his anger
21 mins ago
Boogie Down
"I was always meant to believe the void was a bountiful thing...and it is not. It is ugly. It is...tainted. there is no cycle...only thing..."
"...is ending..."
"I needed to see this..."
8 mins ago
The woman luaghs but the crone speaks as she drops the bucket letting the seamingly imposably long rope writhe some buefore catching it and starting to draw it up again. "There is a cycle, and in it all things have there place. But a cycle can be broken, but it can also be fixed. The curruption is the blance it needs only find it's own balance." The angel sighs "You know this is why you piss me off some times, will you do your job nd get out of here alrealy... You quick need not worry about grandmother we owe her one...."
Boogie Down
Ix smirked as he nodded. "If that's the only reason then I'm not doing too bad." With that he turns smoothly on one foot to walk away
24 mins ago
The same affects as before pleage Ix as he walks along the white stones reaching her she seams to be drawing up a bucket of oblivion. The void bellow though... it's hard to look down, but it catches your eyes. It's hard to look away from the void bellow, the flow of souls around you endless wind that sound almost like it's breathing. It's a heart wrenching dispare filling your soul... there was a story saying the abyss cracked open into the umbra where god died..... looking at this place made that story not seam so far fetched.
Boogie Down
Ix grimaced as he started into the awful asHes
"What do you still work that?" He asked the crone. Keeping the danger
25 mins ago
Boogie Down
"Ix grimaced as he asked, "what do you do with the bucket?
24 mins ago
Boogie Down
"I wouldn't think you to have plants for watering down here."
21 mins ago
The angel answers "The fates care for Alder Bole. Lachesis, waters the rots with oblivion from the well." The crone drinks from the bucket swalowing down a good bit of the dark nothingness before she seams satisfied with it and stands, as the angel and shadoweaten move from her way as she assends the stairs.
18 mins ago
Boogie Down
"And if that supply of oblivion is cut off...what would happen then?"
He calls after her as she walks away
9 mins ago
She stops and turns around to look. "Alder Bole needs wyld essence of the flux and the nothingness of the void to grow for it was the metting of the two that formed it's seed in the first place."
4 mins ago
Boogie Down
He steps a foot closer. "What is the alder bole for?"
1 min ago
The angel speaks "The Alder Bole is all that there is... it lives so that it will know suffering."
"Doesn't suffering even have an end? Why keep it forever?"
1 min ago
"As long as we have suffered all must...." The angle said as the old hag turned and started climbing the stairs.
Boogie Down
Ix watched the crone head towards the stairs. "And if you continue with this grand annihilation, no one will suffer. Because there will be nothing left..." He glances to her before following the crone up the stairs
8 mins ago
"That was not my intention when I released the earthbound..... Betrayal seams to suround me. I'll kill her if I have to but I have no intention of being devoured."
Ix stopped in his tracks at the word "devoured", then spun back song to face the angel
22 mins ago
Boogie Down
"Mm. There's a name for that where I'm from..."
21 mins ago
Boogie Down
"...it's called Fear." He grins mockingly. "You'll only devour yourself."
8 mins ago
"We will all be devoured, it's nothing to fear... as a onceborn said, we are born from nothing we return to nothing, what have we lost? nothing..." She smirks some looking over the pit. "But she will pay for what she did to me, I may even kill her." She kicks another shadow off the edge and turns walking off.
5 mins ago
Boogie Down
An eyebrow curiously quirked. "She, Grandmother?"
1 min ago
As she passed into one of the side chambers another large eathquake rocked the cavern and the sound from bellow was truely horried bellowing up from the well.
"Mm." He continued on the stairs.
There was a voice "Turning back so soon... you have come so far..." if you should turn you find a panther man with a golden skull mask, armor of gold and bones, a few jeweled amulets, and large gauntlents made of 'fleshcrafted' bone.
Boogie Down
Ix spun around quicker than before, his dagger spinning wickedly around his hand. "And who the fk are you?" He started slowly back down the steps.
25 mins ago
He lightly smirks. "That anyway to talk to yourself?" The dead seam to be gone as he walked to the well's edge. "You have been so polite with yourself so far"
19 mins ago
Boogie Down
The blade's circling speed slowed as Ix tilted guys head. "My namesake..."
"You're...me?"
1 min ago
"What hasn't been you......... you pust deeper and deeper into yourself, so why turn back now?"
Boogie Down
Ix stepped up
Beside the figure, looking into the well. "I'm not sure...if what I'll find...will just corrupt me further"
38 mins ago
"What makes you think yourself so corrupt?"
32 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix snickered as the dagger fades away. "We're all corrupt. Dilapidated. Debilitating...but my hope is in the renewing that comes after passing. Seeing this though..." He looked around casually. "...I wonder if true new life even exists."
19 mins ago
"True curruption has spread throught this cycle but this is the way it is dealt with...... there is to much but do you realy think what you saw was the only possable future?"
12 mins ago
Boogie Down
"No. Statistically, that is not the case." He clenched his fists before adding, "Just the most likely..."
"And could I, in what little I know, do anything to change that?"
1 min ago
"You are not alone and you know more than you think."
Boogie Down
"I see you've proven I can always talk to myself." He shook his head and crossed his arms. "And I hope that is the case. I was never too smart for my father." He emphasized the final word with subtle pain. "Wasn't smart enough to get out being his quiet plaything..."
47 mins ago
He knells down at the edge of the well. "there is only so far, so much you can deal with, but you can go deeper still"
38 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix met his eyes, stepping cloudy Roth hands on his hold. "Show me how."
(Both and hips lol)
37 mins ago
He stands up and holds his hand out over the well. "Down"
Boogie Down
(And with not cloudy dam I fkd up)
32 mins ago
Boogie Down
Ix leaned over to look down within the pool of entropic ending. He gazed deep within the center seeing how nothingness took form. A void so deep. Turning back to himself, he asked, "Why the fk would I do that?"
"Ate you trying to kill us? Now? Can't it wait?"
28 mins ago
"You are afraid? Or do you simply lack faith in yourself?"
12 mins ago
Boogie Down
"I'm logical. I don't have any positive stats as to how jumping into an abysmal Pit turns out." He sighed and stretched his arms over his head. "But faith is something I cherish. And I believe in myself." With that he tumbled off and over, a kinetic form flowing into the inevitable
1 min ago
You feel your body striped away and making a light in the darkness giving a bit of a realization death is before life. There is always hope no matter how bleak or minute that hope is.
just now
After that you find yourself back passed out where you meditated, rising form your exsperiance... your mind overflowing with ideas and knew found will... the surge is almost like a tinny awakening, its the only other thing thats ever comparied to it before.
you have gained a point of occult, empathy, shadowlands lore, and arete... aswell as the astreal blade
