The Struggle of Ages

[Kazenara Miyajima]

Kaze and Benjamin both stand to see the small fires burn and the rubble that was strewn about. The skys quickly clouded over as a crack of thunder was heard and rain slowly came down on the earth. Kaze stepped out, into the open, the rain able to come down on her, running down her face.
"Now...now is the time I can help. As a human," Kaze said as she walked forward to her fallen comrades.
Ben and John stood where they were as they watched her walk out in the rain.
"I agree..." Ben said as he too, stepped out into the rain to help with the victims.

[Ukko]

Ukko lays out the ashes of Keitoleinen. He pours holy water on them so they turn to clay. He molds the clay into the shape of a man and chants over them....


In moments, the gray clay turns to a flesh tone, and Keitleinen sits up...reborn.


"Louhi is back, and I can not say that I am pleased or displeased. We are allies for now, and my power is greater than hers, but I dont like the idea of having to compete with her for power after Jumala Mythysta is dead."

Ukko ponders everything that is happening on Earth.

"I can say one thing, Red Infinity's power has never been more secure."

[Machiavelli]

Mac came forth and regarded the girl.

"Quite a looker eh Kaschei? Ah i would be delighted to watch over the poor demon for our mistress. I see she is acting as an imbecile no longer. that is good. Kaschei it will be my pleasure to look after such a treasure as this"

He did not mean the girl, no he meant the vessel of his master Louhi. The girl was of no conciquence but she had to be protected so Louhi could return fully.

[Keitoleinen]

"Three Gods and hordes of Dragons, yes, I would say that our power is secure."

Kietoleinen stretches out his new body.

"Thankyou for reviving me, Louhi must still be angry at us for ditching her in the last war of the gods. Ah, but she is back. No harm done."

Kietoleinen senses things going on across the world.

"But we can work with her. We have the same goals. Once we are done with her, we just kill her. Simple. Now, if we had the Spider Queen on our side as well, we would have it made. Too bad she is dead...Though I dont expect she would be too enthused that I took over for her as God of the Drow."

[Benjamin Solaris]

As Ben followed Kaze he looked up at the sky, blinking as the rain fell into his eyes.
"The earth mourns also. The tears of the sky are falling on us...but we have hope." Ben said out loud his voice barely above a whisper.
He knelt to help Kaze with the first one they found.
"Please tell me your alive," Ben whispered as they peered into the broken pieces of what used to be a window.

[Ukko]

"There are many things I must now consider. This hastens things. For now, we serve Red Infinity and do our best to avoid all out war. I want more time to plan...and this newest devolopment changes everything."

Ukko sits at his desk and sheds the body of the youthful angel, to that of a worn old man.

"Go back to the League of the Godless until I call for you."

[Maeve]

Maeve listens to Trent's story. At last the rain relents. She stands up and shakes his hand. "Nice meeting you. I am going to my castle. Interested in a tour?"

[Jareth]

Jareth is overtaken with emotion at her masters words, even if they are not for her personally. A handsome man in a black longsleeve shirt, leather pants and long black hair has entered the room talking about her as if she weren't there. She smells something about him he is no man but a...dragon. He is louhis servant. ah ok so he is to protect me.

"Thank you master. I will not put myself in any danger i promise. How fascinating a dragon. I am learning dragon magic to prepare for louhi. You are magnificent. sorry master i babble to your friend." She looks around wondering if her master will stay close to her. She wished to tell him exactly how she felt one day before she is totally gone. But knew she must not. As she stared at the dragon she wondered would Kaschei miss her when she was gone?

[Keitoleinen]

Kietoleinen teleports to the League of the Godless. He is slightly angered that Louhi showed up before he could finish the fight with Calithin. He figures that he will have another chance soon enough.

Kietoleinen starts filing some papers and sits at his desk.

[Calithin]

* I sit there with my...my mother. I just stare into space, the godess of darkness has been revived, my very soul seems to have been tainted by the mere sight of her, no, I will not be this weak, she too will fall.*

[Kaschei]

"We should all celebrate this day!"
Kashei smiles.

"Anything the two of you want to do?"

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea had finished and she was quite proud of her finished product. But she had spent the last few weeks in her apartment and it started to wear on her nerves.
She paced the apartment, itching to get out. So she reacted on her insicts and ran to her bedroom quickly changing out of the clothes she had gotten paint on and into fresh ones. Rushing out of the apartment she slammed the door shut behind her and ran down the hall.
As she stepped down the front steps of the apartment she noticed a few raindrops starting to fall. But she didn't mind, she had a chance to strech her legs and geto out of her apartment.
Linnea didn't realize where she was going, nor did she direct her path, she let her feet take her where they wanted and when Linnea looked up she gasped.
The whole area lie in distruction, a gaping hole in the middle of Helsinki, the buildings collasped, and the beatiful church that housed the rebels gone. As she let the damage sink in she saw a few people wondering around and a few lying motionless on the ground. She wanted to move and help them, see what had happened, but the shock wouldn't allow her to move her legs.
"Dear God," she whispered the beginning of a prayer, but she was unable to contiue as she suddenly fell to her knees, sitting on the ground.

[St Celeste]

I see the look in his eyes and realize things may need to be said. Louhi is back. He may need something but i do not know what to give him.

"Calithin, all is well. She will be destroyed and we will prevail. With one such as you fighting i am positive of this." I smile at him and i feel so much for him. If i hadn't had to leave him i wouldn't. It was better for him that way though. but i would now fight by him and die by him if i had too.

[Jareth]

She looks at her master hard.

"Is this a trick question? If not i guess we could celebrate somehow. But i understand if it is beneath you master."

She looked at Mac and shrugged.

[Machiavelli]

"Perhaps dear friend the lady is right. A celebration of some sorts is in order."
