Hope is Our Recourse

[Valodya Bassarov]

The new thread

[Kaschei]

Kaschei was perturbed that Genovia had not yet returned. Her psychological training was not yet complete. He decided not to worry about this at the moment, and that Kith would see to Genovia's safe return. In the meantime, he sat in his study reading some spells to add to his repetiore.

[KitsuneHime]

Suzumi glanced back at Riku, heat creeping up her cheeks.
She was rather embarassed about slapping him, but even more so about the fact that she hadn't heard him creeping behind her .

"I'm very sorry about that..."

[Keitoleinen]

Keitoleinen watched intently as Celeste netted the silver dragon. It brought a smile to his nafarical face to see the great dragon struggle against a mere angel. In the end, he was certain that Aristarchus would win the battle. But for now, it was nice to see him struggle a little.

He turned his attention to other things. Paper work was far too trite to maintain his interest. He was in dire need of a secretary. He thought of Fascia, the elven woman he had seen the other day. She had not contacted him since he blessed her child.

"If she does not see me soon, perhaps I shall curse them and the child, and send a plague of vipers to their apartment."

[Ukko]

As Keitoleinen watched events unfold around him, another god did the same. Ukko was concerned about the sudden surge in immortals traveling to Earth. At first it was simply the immortal birds. Then he noted that angels had also been sent. Now, he noticed that Yohko, a life goddess he was not familiar with, was meddling in Earth's affairs.

He blamed this on the revival of Louhi of course. Only one thing could be done. The League of the Godless would have to be strengthened to combat these immortal intruders. However, peace was still more desireable than war at this point.

He thought for a moment that something could be arranged though G.O.D., the diplomatic organization of the Gods. If a treaty could be brokered, the travel restrictions could be reinstated.

This would at least ensure some stability on Earth.

[JumalaMythysta]

The Manala Tree's branches were heavy with the Suishos of a future generation of angels. But the tree was getting old. She could not produce immortals like she once had. An age would come when there would be no gods, and with Ukko's help, this age crept closer and closer.

Jumala Mythysta sighed. He had to be careful who he sent to Earth now. More and more gods and angels were dying, with fewer to replace them.

He knew that he had entered the final age of immortals. He would be the last great God. But what was life but change, and he would have to accept this innevitable transition into a new era.

His job then was to make the transition easy for the mortals. This meant that the final years of the gods should be years of lasting peace. Ukko and Louhi challenged this notion of peace, once again threatening war.

But peace could still be salvaged. A meeting of the G.O.D would be called, and the fate of Earth would be decided. It was time once again to enter negotiations with the rogue gods. Inspectors and diplomats would be sent to Earth.

In his heart, Jumala Mythysta held tightly to his hopes for peace, a shelter for the coming storms of change.

[Catherine]

I was infuriated. Why did this guy have to be so rude? Well, I was just wondering if you knew where her whereabouts were! And it's none of your business what I want from her... I said angrily.

I then grabbed the magazine and turned to the other girl. Hello, so can you really find this model?

[Kisa Higurashi]

When Zeek hugged me, I realised how lucky I really was. All this time, through our hardships I had never realised it. It's true that we were close to poor and that it seemed like there was chaos everyday but...I lived with these rebels. They were my family. Not everybody can be so lucky...

I smiled at Zeek.

So, you want somebody as more of a friend? I thought about it. Don't lose hope, you'll find that special someone... I then looked at salad I was preparing. The vegetables were all over the place and were unevenly cut.

Uhh... Can you help me with this?

--Annabell--
Annbell and Indigo were getting closer to a cabin. Indigo growled softly.

She's here...

Annabell who had just been eating a cookie then hopped off of Indigo. Let's race to that cabin! she exclaimed.

[Swan of Tounela]

Since Alkonost was gone, I decided to take a little flight of my own. I traveled toward the ruins of Helsinki and came across a battle between a dragon and an angel. It was the very dragon that I had fought before! Aristarchus. I flew toward the angel.

"Mind if I join you? I have a personal vendetta against this one!"

[Rave]

Rave was startled at the amount of energy each shuriken packed. He made a mental note to stay away from them.

"RAH! REBEL! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT! BEATLES, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!"

Rave swats Ookami with one swipe, which he dodges, only to be smacked by the other hand behind the moving one. With a massive hand, Ookami went sailing into the background of the fire.

As for the Android, Rave held his breath as he tried to smash it under his feet, but the little guy was took quick. Eventually, he returned to his normal size, seeing that this battle could not be one if he could not see his opponent.

[Sinipunainen]

Opening his wings, he dashed towards, hovering slightly above ground, smashing into her ankles and picked her up by her legs, obliterating the forest above him as he flew high into the sky.

"Let's see if you have wings!" he cackled amidst the sound of his beating wings. Readily, he released his grip on her as she tumbled towards the world beneath her.

[Quan Xu / Quan Ji]

A blast of black fire explodes beside Rave. Fire explodes all around, balls of black flames falling like rain. The flames burn like the ground was soaked with oil, spreading over rocks and dirt and blazing to amazig heights.

A figure mounted on a horse, stepping slowly towards the combat, smiles from behind mirrored glasses, his leather and chains reflecting the black fire.

"What a wide varity of creatures here."

He leans forward on the saddle, looking around at the gathered combatants.

"I don't suppose anyone here can tell me where to find a mage named Kaschei?"

[Halo Dove Kuin]

"Rien!" Kuin drops from the branches, throwing his arms around the other Angel. "You made it! It's so great to see you!"

[Ookami]

Being thrown back Ookami comes through the flames singed but overall alright. He bounds out just in time to see the entrance of a man on horse back.

"As to your question sir." Ookami growled so low it seemed to reverberate in the minds of all present. "I know where that a'ss is. He is at the ministry of terror. I would lead you myself but am preoccupied. If you wait a bit i could take you or not its up to you."

Taking this inturruption to his advantage Ookami decides to attack the dragon with grey fang and creates a massive gash in his back leg at the hip joint. Using stealth he returns right where he was before the attack talking to the man on the horse.

[Chaos]

Ugh, d'amn it all. Chaos' energy sensor is goin berserk this other chick must have great power. Like one of them gods or some s'hit. They ain't too important. I can find dinari thats no biggie. But I need to figure outta plan to get to them. Hmmmm. I briskly walk away from them, leaving them way behind.

Its time to take action and go.

I decide to take a trip to a nice secluded island that not too many tourists know about. I have a plan. I use the Atm to get some money and i buy a nice pair of koolotts and a hawaiin shirt with one of them straw hat deals. I also use a chemical solution that washes out to dye my hair a mousy brown. I gotta act cool too no killing until i see Dinari and that chick. I got my disguise so all i gotta do is go to the island, blend in, fix on Dinari, and kill em. Simple yet brilliant. Chaos uses the computers to get himself a great seat in 1rst class and streching out in the deluxe seat he waits for the plane to arrive at its destination.
