Hiruga stared up at the door as it rose from the blood of his doppleganger, still trying to contemplate what had just happend; he took just one simple swing that could have been easily avoided and countered, yet in the end he was the victor. Did this doppleganger keep him busy while some grand scheme was taking place?
He holds the hilt of his now bloody sword and heads for the door, cautious as if some other being was to spring out the door the moment he opened it; he had just about enough fighting for one day. With his free hand, he reaches out for the knob and turns it, drawing back the door...

As the door opened, a powerful light flowed from the other side and bathed Hiruga in its power. Its source was a tall, human looking man with red eyes and long but neat black hair. He wore the typical garb of an Arrian mage, and his clothing included the green cloak of a member of the Cult of the Daemo. On his forehead was the symbol of Lustré-Atra, Goddess of the Daemo. Six wings came out of his back; the left three were like a raven's wings while the right three were like a dove's. His facial expression was a sort of peaceful one. It was like the expression one would have upon death, his suffering ending after many hours of intense pain. But whatever his expression was, he was far from dead-or, he was dead, and his spirit was glorified by the divine presence that surrounded and emanated from him. His eyes instantly focused on Hiruga, and he opened his mouth as if to speak to him. Instead of speaking words, however, a sort of music came from his mouth. It was like an elvish hymn, but it was spoken in an ancient dialect of Arrian that the Old People (That is, the people who inhabited the area of Xian before Leon founded Arrius) would have spoken. The hymn went like this:
"O wel pa tu ét bi kan él al Motosuwa e vasc vil do as un fel Fenikis do asc. Royalis familia Præ de omni de Arria Vil Acs ex Ashi ét verstabag' un dichen si. "
The song ended, but the figure continued to speak with his musical voice. This time he spoke in modern Arrian "égo és Santi Cyrillius Luterius, Maytr por al Dæmo et servus de Léonardo Virgil Motosuvus...(I am Saint Cyril Luther, Martyr of the Dæmo and servant (or slave) of Leonardo Virgil Motosuwa)" He paused before continuing in Common, his words now chanted instead of sung, "Hiruga, Guardian of the Motosuwa clan, you will awake and you will tell the followers of Perun that there is an army marching north to Arrius. You will tell them that Lustré-Atra advises them to send their armies to the southern plains. The Arrian army should do the same and so should the Meteorokku. Ixahrejem's fight was a victory he should be with Them shortly. Now awake Lord Hiruga and get ready to fight for you have passed the test of the Gods. Help us be free from the Opression of the Seven Creators." He slowly faded as his spirit went on to the afterlife, and as he faded, he added, "Tell the cleric Azira to go to my office and seek out the Book of Chaos. Tell her that once she does that, I will come back and Instruct her further..." With that he faded, but the light didn't leave with him; the light instead sent into Hiruga and granted him the strength of Cyril...

"Oh hum.. you blast the basic rules of thermo dynamics and conservation of entrophy out the window and now you want to chat?" Velorius looked back towards where Sephiroth had reappeared and seemed to consider his options. Finally he let out a slow breath and waved his arm reforming his chair once again, sitting down and proping his head on his right arm he looked towards Patrick. "Very well then, lets talk. Recently information came to my attention which leads me to understand you may be aiming for the same goals as I am. Basicly there is no reason for us to fight, you may believe I have commited sins to be punished, but I am not a citizen of this world and am not under your juristiction, nor bound by your primitive moral concepts. So I'd like to know what exactly do you intend to do, beyond the whole bring back nail, thing?"

"You may not be from this world, but you must pay for the crimes you committed. I have no grudge against you, personally, Velorius. Now...why did you attack Arrius?"

"I'm one of those little cogs which generally lurk in the background keeping things in the universe running smoothly, well smothly on the grand scheme anyway. Leon and this little paradox he built caused a wrinkle in the natural flow of things, Leon shouldn't still be here, this empire shouldn't still be standing, everything round here is too... perfect, too orderly. The multiverse is in a state of flux, of chaos, caught on the edge of Order and Anarchy, places like Arrius act like boulders in a stream, blocking and disrupting the natulla flow. I... lets say I came here to remedy it before things got any worse, I had wanted to try and do things subtly, but the situation here just keeps getting complicated. Now I want you to answer my question if you wouldn't mind?"

"Your time will come, Velorius. You know little. The universe is orderly. Everything balances something out. For every Arrius there is a Waste. Your attack on the innocents was uncalled for. You planeswalkers are all the same...Leonardo, Atrius, Velorius...It matters not. I should exile you in Seterai, but I am amused right now. Your time has come. Ask."

"Pompous, arrogant hypocrite! You serve a god who claims domain over the void and you trash the basic rules of conservation and then say the universe is orderly! You condemn me for sins as if your morality meant something! I've had enough of this, this whole piss poor universe can go straight to oblivion along with it's over egotistical gods and their pathetic servents!" Velorius got up from his seat and waved his arm opening a new portal. "From the begining I've had a dislike for Leon and his spawn but I kind of hope they manage to kill you, and that it is a very unpleasent death." Velorius then headed into the portal.

Hiruga's being shudders violently, then lies still. His entire body has a prickling sensation, as if he had been numb the whole time he was out. Brow in a scowl, he slowly opens his eyes to find himself staring up at a dark sky; he's lying down on his back, upturned cobble stones digging into his ribs. With some difficulty, he sits up and feels his arms. No feeling, as if it weren't his own arms he were grasping. He glances around to find himself a little ways away from everyone else; who were the other four beside Atrius, and the oddly dressed woman and freakish sized man? He starts to say something to the group, but finds himself only letting out air. What happend to his voice? He shudders lightly as the prickling sensation moves down along his arms to his finger tips. Although he does not know it, his own aura is suppressed at the moment somehow..

((I suppose I could do a free-action stare post. There's not much my characters are doing at the moment.))
Ciaran noticed Hiruga's awakening. "Have a nice nap?" The half-demon's attention was mostly on the people before them as he spoke.

Sparta looked down at the demon silently then looked over to Kyoki who nodded softly and then smiled. "Oki! Now we go to the south gate!" She had a very cheery voice.

Hiruga shudders lightly again as he rose to his feet, the numbing slowly disappearing. He eyes the group with distrust, yet shrugs off his suspicions; If Atrius is here, there must be a good enough reason to stay around. However, he makes no effort to move from where he stands.
"Someone mind telling me what's going on?"

Atrius turned to Hiruga, "Come on...we need to get to the south gates because Patrick told us to. Its better than being killed by an enemy who could kill us all without even blinking."

"Patrick?" Hiruga glances at Atrius in a curious way. He decides not to ask who this Patrick was; he had enough with asking questions and not knowing anything.
"Lead on then."

Atrius turned and continued southward. He never let Patrick's two minions out of his sight. He continued on for a good ten minutes then he suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Ah..." ...Gabriel... After a few seconds, however, Atrius shook his head and continued on as if nothing happened. The south gates were soon in clear view, deserted of guards. --- Patrick grinned and Sephiroth opened a Portal and stepped through. Patrick followed and then the hole in the dimensions closed... --- Leon stood before the statue of the goddess Nén, his patron deity. His head was bowed in prayer...
"The one who is called -Fade- is near... ...my goddess, give me the courage to face him..."
