The War


Upon their travels, the group of five discussed ways to put a stop to Erebos. It wasn't until midway that Sveta finally spoke up, the shamaness a calculating speaker. She spoke of a way to steal ones power and give it back to mother earth, that more times then not it kills the one who's being stripped of it because a creatures power is connected to their life source. The group listened intently, and while it sounded good Nyx just couldn't stand thinking of her brothers death.. even if he'd caused so much pain. Sveta continued to explain but paused, glancing up to Nyx worriedly. She spoke of how easy it was to cast this spell upon furred creatures, but upon reptiles.. well the spell took hold of all, not just the single it was wished for. The truth was, if they were to go along with this, Nyx could possibly loose her power of Light and maybe her life.

She agreed.

Sveta told her that Nyx would have to be the one to do the spell, she cared for her brother.. she loved him. Nyx would cast it out of love. The dragon agreed and they set off in their travels once more.

Soon, they followed the signs to the deep gorge in Arcelia, located there was the Abiteth. Nyx called her brother out, and he willingly followed, along with the large group of reptiles that had his back. The five stood off against the many and Nyx stared into Erebos dark eyes as her heart broke. Determination set in as she crossed her arms, "Me and you Erebos. This ends now." They were words of binding, for a dragon of that time could not refuse a challenge especially by his own sister. The dark male stepped forward and it began.

A battle of fire, horns, fury, and claws. Nyx vs. Erebos, Sister vs. Brother, Light vs. Dark. It was a fury in the air of rolling and tumbling giants while the four left below used their abilities and wisdom to keep the rest of the Abiteth at bay.

It wasn't until Nyx and Erebos landed like two falling worlds upon the ground, each locked in each others claws. Nyx began to chant as tears rolled down her cheeks and soon Erebos knew something wasn't right. As he tried to rip away the four remaining from the travels rushed forward to make sure he stayed, a snarl of fury ripping from his mouth.

As Nyx spoke the last words, she softly whispered an 'I Love You' and closed her eyes. There was a deafening boom, like an explosion but without the heat and fire. It was the opposite, a cold chill suddenly sweeping the area and those around it. The four travelers were thrown to the sides by a shock wave that flattened the grasses, the rest of the Abiteth bowled over, some falling back into the gorge. And then.. there was silence. Nyx lay about 30 feet from her brother, neither dragon moving.

The four that were left decided to move Nyx, whom they assumed was dead, away from this carnage and darkness. Kane used his psychokinesis to help make her lighter, and soon Nyx was moved elsewhere in Arcelia to rest in peace. The remaining four travelers left and made their way north to Uisnech. Very little was ever heard of these four 'Elders' again.
