The Black Edition

Ladies and gentlemen, for those who haven't heard, head over to the Waterstones site for a very special special edition announcement...

http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2014/08/the-dying-of-the-light-black-edition/#more-59340

This is something I've had in mind for years — a super supreme limited edition of only 1000 copies— the Black Edition. Those lucky few who have managed to get your hands on a proof copy of the first book should recognise the design we're echoing, bringing the whole thing full circle...

We're working with Waterstones on this, and so the Black Edition will only be available in their shops. You won't be able to preorder these. You won't be able to reserve one online or in person. Not even Waterstones STAFF can preorder these for THEMSELVES! On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go hunting for them.

We already have 5000 copies of a Special Edition that comes signed, with that stunning cover, but the Black Edition will NOT be signed, and there will be a ONE PER PERSON policy. Basically, we're torturing you. We're making you choose.

The fact is, because there will only be 1000 printed, and so each store will only get a limited amount of copies, the chances of YOU, individual Minion, managing to snag one is pretty low. Because there is no way to guarantee that you get one, you're just going to have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Oh, and you should also check Twitter that day, because the stores will be tweeting how many copies they've got left. Until they tweet, there is no way of telling how many copies a particular store will have received.

Ooooh I can't wait to get mine....

(Bye Dragona!)

John said...

(Why? Blasting through the fabric of time and space once was hard enough and it left a crevasse large enough to rival the Grand Canyon, I'd rather not have to do it again in the event of needing to grab one of my past foes.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(bye Draggie)

Emerald Melody said...

Roland: It is not you, it is my back's scar. It is painful today.

But that is beside the point.

It is a sad day when the actions of one rule another. This is your family and friends, you should not be made abodon us because of one.

No matter who he is.

Family and friends should always be important to stand by. And I would rather have you here, helping to protect one another than you leaving and us having to wait the inevitable of an attack anyway.

*He winced as he grabbed his left shoulder, his left wing going slightly limp. He walked away from the door to go and sit down.*

Roland: If you want to run from the only family you have ever known, then run.

But know that the child, Lorcan, myself and my sister would never be the same without you.

*He winced louder again as he sat, rolling his shoulder.*

John said...

(Bye Dragona-baka!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(That sounds delightful El.)

John said...

(You can kill Loki, heck I'll even help, but no touching my sparring partner.)

Jophiel said...

Roland...
*She listened to him and her head dropped into her hands. Why did everyone other than her have to be right all the time?*
I wish you could see the world from my angle... I wish I could show you just how every little thing that's ever happened to me has twisted and morphed my mind. I try and survive, but there are always a trail of bodies left in my wake. I don't want to add everyone else in this room to that list...
*She stood by the door a moment longer as he went back. She watched him, weighing up the pros and cons of leaving. Then, reluctantly, she followed him and sat beside his feet on the floor. She rested her head on his knee*

Jophiel said...

(Uh, I'm sorry you three, but I have quite a few complaints about all that.

First, you'd be leaving the twins without a father, and possibly a mother.

Second, certain people would get pissed.

Thirdly, a certain someone can always bring us two back.)

John said...

(Then I'll have a great deal of fun as you attempt to get past me first.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hm. We may have an actual fight on our hands El.)

John said...

(Alright I feel like there's something I need to be brought up to speed on here.)

Jophiel said...

(First, the parents do, thank you. Are they dead? Are they dying? No. They're not.

Second, ouch.

Third, Loki's nephew. Astrid could heal us.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Oh Rose and Loki plan to bring in an army of Frost Giants and rule earth killing all who get in their way.)

Jophiel said...

(I honestly don't see what the massive problem is... It's just a few of you dying...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(You cant revive the missing Rose...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I have El! No reply has shown up!)

John said...

(Yeah for some reason I'm still not that worried. I kinda have a few attacks that can take down an army. Like my rain of iron. Or maybe even Excalibur if things get too out of hand.)

Jophiel said...

(First, timezones suck.

Second, you don't like either Loki or I... Or his family... Ouch!!

Third, Astrid is technically his fiancee... I think she's going to be pretty pissed.)

(Sil...)

Emerald Melody said...

*Tears fell from Roland's eyes. It was a combination of pain and his conversation with Rose. His left wing flapped weakly as he tried to steady his pain.

He stood and start rolling his shoulder again. He then grabbed his hair and started pulling at it. He couldn't focus or think in pain.

Casha came in and put Ariana in a little swinger seat as she walked over to Roland. She calmed him as best she could before making him sit on the floor in front of her.

She got him to take off his t-shirt. There from the bottom of his spine all the way to the two points where his wings came out from his shoulders was a huge scar. Just at his wing bumps, most of the skin had been cut away and the central feathers at his skin were burned away.

Casha started gently pushing at his scar, slowly working her way up. Rubbing and cooling down his pain, the best she can.*

Jophiel said...

(Bastard.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(What its true. You can't revive a body if there IS no body.)

John said...

(You're always so harsh when referring to the fact that I'm quite possibly the strongest person here, Ellie.)

Jophiel said...

(I'm sorry. I'm leaving for a while. I've got much better things to do then get insulted for my choices.)

Emerald Melody said...

Rose!!!

What the fuck, I'm staying up to roleplay with you and you just bail on me.

Thanks.

John said...

(Guys are we really going to argue about this?

Sil, Ellie, stop being jerks about it.

Rose, you are kinda siding with a guy only you like.

Em, calm down she can go when she likes.

Blake, stop bragging and being you.)

John said...

(Well I would like to assume you guys wouldn't be standing there twiddling your thumbs and letting me do all the work, Ellie.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Sleep.....msd...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose don't leave please...

John said...

(Now can we all get along? Hugs and cuddles? Yes? No? Maybe later?)

John said...

(Everyone involved seems to have left the scene...

Ah well, at least there's no more arguing.)

Jophiel said...

*She watched Casha and Roland, her eyes sad. She didn't know what to do, so she took his hand and pressed it against her face*

Jophiel said...

(I'm just going to ignore the comments about my choices. They're my choices. I can live with whatever they throw at me.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(if anyone cuddles or hugs me I'll give them a round house kick that'll make the one Viv got seem like a tap on the shoulder.)

John said...

(*Jumps on Rose and proceeds to hug/cuddle her*

Yaaaaaaaaay not everyone left!)

Jophiel said...

(Blake. Touch me and die.)

John said...

(*Backs away from Rose and Sil*

;-;)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose, shall we continue? We have a realm to rule.

I also would ask that if some of you are upset by Rose or I being parents, or anything negative then I would ask to keep your comments to yourselves. This is what happened when Zafira and Adra had it out, insults were thrown and feelings hurt, let's not do that. Thank you.

Emerald Melody said...

*He barely held onto Rose's hand. He just stared into the going out fire in the hearth as Casha was trying to ease the pressure on his back.*

Casha: Roland, you need to get your wing straightened out or else it will stay limp for a while. We don't want it to get the skin infected.

*Roland tried to straighten his wing or flap it but he grimaced in pain when he did.
Casha tutted as she went back to gently pressing on his scar, trying to find where the knot or the pressure point was.*

Jophiel said...

(Good boy, Blake.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Good Blake.)
(Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...mustn't sleep....important rp imminent....)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

New Guess the Bloglandian...

I'm running low on people I know well enough to write clues for.

That, and I'm probably going to try not to come back here.

So I'll be tallying up the winners in a few days...

Bye.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Have a nice day.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Why wont you be back fabz?!)

Jophiel said...

(Let's, Loki. Thank you.)

*She wrapped an arm around Roland's waist and rested her head against his chest*
You can do it... It's okay, Roland. It's okay.

John said...

(*Cuddles Ellie*

^-^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*looks mornfully at pillow*
*looks at phone*
*pillow*
*phone*
*pillow*
*phone*
...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Very well. Come, we have a trip to New York in store. *smiles* Ready?

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She smiled back at Loki and nodded*
Yeah. One question though. Your army isn't going to kill me, are they...? Because I kinda am a Midgardian... And they don't know of our relationship...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland twitched his head as his hand tangled itself in his hair again.*

Roland: I can not... I can not! It is too painful. Please Casha, no more.

Casha: I don't want you to get infected Roland, you could cause even more damage to your wing if you leave it like this.

*There was a sudden noise of pain from the bedroom and Casha swore as she stood.*

Casha: I'll try and be back. I'm sorry Roland.

*She glanced at Ariana, who fell asleep in the swinger before she ran towards the bedroom just as Lorcan threw up again.*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@el it IS morning! It 1:17am or something! And then I'll miss the rp! And Sil will kill me if anything happens that she could've prevented!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You are safe, they know not to harm you, I promise.

Jophiel said...

*She looked after Casha and took up her position behind Roland. She'd been told how to give massages before, it couldn't be too different*
I'm sorry if this hurts, Roland... I'm really sorry...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(They're bringing the Frost Giants over El!)
(...if I disappear, I fell asleep.)

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
Okay... Lets go to New York!
*She wrapped an arm around his waist and smiled up at him*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Roki Doki will the army be coming to blogland within the next say 9/10 hours?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Teleporting. *vanishes and appears on top of Stark Tower, the entire reactor set up, thanks to a few unlucky mages he mind controlled* Now, I take the reactor, and teleport to Blogland. The mages here placed sigils on it so that this is portable. Are you ready to return to Blogland?


((Anyone in Blogland, when Loki comes over, he is going to make a speech you guys can hear if you wish.))

Emerald Melody said...

*He grabbed his hair more as he felt Rose do her best. He gritted his teeth, the further she got to his left wing. He realised that she could closer see the extent of his injuries but the pain was more important to try and subside to him.*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(No. They'll be coming over now, since I have Rose to help me.))

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
Why the Hell didn't you just leave me in Blogland if we're only going to return? Oh. Wait! My bag!
*She leaped off the side of the roof and sped towards the greenhouse to get her duffle bag. She was back beside Loki in moments*
Okay. Let's go home.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I'm going to regret this later but Fuck it I'm staying up.)

Jophiel said...

*She reached up and took Roland's hand, pulling it away from his hair*
Hey... You'll have no hair at this rate...
*She looked down at his scars and winced. She remembered how they were inflicted and felt her chest tighten*
You'll be okay...

(Cleaning... Distant...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I wanted to see you. *touches the reactor, and vanishes, appearing in the center of Blogland. The moment the reactor is in Blogland, the sigils light up, by the time his speech is done, the Frost Giants are standing behind Loki, along with Zanida*

Blogland! I give you one chance, claim loyalty to me, and I shall not need an army. Kneel before me, and I will spare your lives. If not, we fight. Your palace you call Blogland is cut off from outside help, where are your Avengers now?

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
Hey Loki... Do I still have to kneel...?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*a wavy blue hologram flickers up*
*Sil and El, holding a bundle each, both with a dagger in their other hands*
Stop now. We'd rather not do this.
*the bundle Sil has cries slightly*
The babies don't deseve it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You count as an Asgardian, you do not.

Emerald Melody said...

*He took a few deep breaths, trying his best to calm down. He then heard a little cooing from beside him. He looked over to see Ariana cooing up at the ceiling.
She then blinked a few times and looked over at him and Rose.

Suddenly there was a tight pulling energy around his wing. It was pulling his wing straight. He cried out as he tried to grab on tightly to the floor, or something.*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Oh El the plan is go.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida; Idiots.

*the bundles vanish, mere tricks of Loki's* Do you really think I left my children on Midgard?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(wait the plan is no? Are we aborting?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(ah. It appears we are aborting.)

*strolls out of the shadows*
Shame. That was a half decent plan.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Kneel. I will spare your lives, of all of your people, if you claim loyalty to me now.

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
Good. Because I'm staying by your side. And I ain't kneeling...

---

*She looked at Ariana then at Roland's wing. She was confused, but it subsided quickly as he saw Roland scramble. She took his hand tightly in hers*
Roland. You can do it!

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
Kneeling might be a good idea, guys.
*She looked behind her, at the Frost Giants, and pulled herself into Loki's side. She didn't want to admit it, but she was afraid*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*tilts her head slightly*
You want us to kneel? To you? In the mud? I'll have you know these are designer jeans. No way am i going to kneel and get them mucky!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You need not, Rose. *keeps her close*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at El*
What?! What are you doing?!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Kneel, Silente, or I kill every living soul here that you know and love, starting with Vivianus, then Blake, then Chione, and then...Adra and Alastair. Each time, your ledger will drip with their blood.

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
I'm not scared, Loki. What would ever make you believe that? I'm just... I just want a hug...

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland tried to calm his breath. He tried to take control of his own wing but he couldn't. It was halfway to being unbent but he wasn't sure if it was being bent in the right way.*

Roland: She is... she is pulling my wing!! *he then cried in pain again.*

*Ariana cooed quietly as she kept her gaze on Roland and his wing.*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

El is the smart one, I will spare her life. Now kneel, Silente.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I won't kneel to a bully Loki. Not you, not Thor, not anyone.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*Thanks Thor for reminding him to wear a cup* *vanishes, with Rose, and appears beside the flame, then firing the sceptre at El*

You are safe, Rose.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*pushes El aside with air*
*takes Loki, Rose and Zan's air from their lungs*

Jophiel said...

*She looked at Ariana and with her spare hand, helped guide up his wing, making identical to his other*
Hey... Ariana, I think I can do this, angel. You can stop...

(Distant... Cleaning...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am a king, Silente. If you wish not to kneel, then you will have my army to deal with. *The Frost Giant Laufey grins, and steps forward, the others following their king, their hands encased in pointy ice shards, all ready to kill* Kill the girl.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: *grabs Silente, and sends an ice shard at her neck*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks up at the frost giants*
*waves as mist starts leaving their bodies*
*and they slowly, very slowly, start shrinking*
*their skin starts turning Brown and wooden oh so slowly*
*very, very slowly*

Emerald Melody said...

*Ariana let an excited sound out as she waved her arms.
Roland let out a scream as there was a crack noise and the rest of his wing straightened out.
Ariana giggled quietly.

Roland crawled and stayed still on his hands and knees. He was openly crying as his wings were now folded neatly on his back.*

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
See Silente? This is why I fell in love with Loki. Because I can rule beside him. You'll be grovelling at his feet until you final breath!

Emerald Melody said...

(I DED TO...

SANITY. I WISH I HAD MORE OF IT BUT GRATEFUL THAT I LOST JUST ENOUGH TO HAVE FRIENDS LIKE YOU GUYS.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Can you at least let me DO something, Sil? That's really a bit unfair....-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(thats why it is so slow Zaf. Hence the VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY part.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(As in Slow as hell. Slower than a snail. Slower than paint drying.)

Jophiel said...

*She hugged Roland tightly, bringing his face to her shoulder so he could cry there*
Hey... Hey, it's okay! You're fine. You're fine. You're wings are normal again.
*She didn't realise what she was doing until it was too late. She kissed his lips gently and ran her hands through his hair*

(Zaf, I'm going through with the email I sent to you!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(fine. Let me adapt it)

*mist starts leaving a few of the giants*
*they slowly start shrinking and turning wooden*
*but there are still many left?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(**left*)

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland kissed her back and sighed in relief. He was aware that his tears were wetting her face but he just couldn't stop crying.

He then pulled away and sat back on his knees. He wanted to stretch his wings out but he was frightened.*

Roland: Rose... I... I thought that...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(No, I refuse to accept that, Rose. You can read my reply, but I'm against it entirely.-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(go with the adaption then. Only a few.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(where is Sil? Air bubble of Laufrey's sweaty cold palm?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

* many giants swarm around Silente, sending ice at her like mad*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Basically you're being helf in the air with ice coming at you from all sides.))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(There's my answer)

*shrieks and makes an air bubble around herself*
*sends flames at the feet of any giants who get too close*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(**at any of the)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*most manage to avoid flame but some are hit*

Laufey: *chokes her*

Jophiel said...

*She looked at him in shock and rubbed the tears off his face*
That... That... That didn't happen... That so didn't happen. Don't tell anyone.
*She kissed him again softly and pulled away*
And that didn't happen either. Our secret.
*Shs flashed a smile at him and nuzzled his neck*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*gags, clawing at whatever it is that's choking her*
*clicks her fingers and stuffs a flame at whatever it is that's holding her*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*ice flies toward El at racing speeds, the ones hit are burnt, not melted*

((They're like Loki, you can't melt Loki.))

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland let her nuzzle his neck. His body went rigid again, still not knowing how to touch her or comfort her.*

Roland: Are we... a secret? I do not understand...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(correction theyre like Loki only big, blue and have red eyes I believe.)

Jophiel said...

We're a secret. He'll kill me if he finds out... He'll kill you too... If you want to continue to live and be like this, then we can't tell anyone. If you don't want to be like this, then you can tell anyone if you want...
*She put her hands on his arms and wrapped them around her waist*
That was so inappropriate... I'm sorry... I think...

---

Rose2:
*She watched Laufey and Sil, her eyes wide*
Loki...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*quietly* I cannot stop my father, if they refuse to kneel he'll injure them.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*intensifies the flame*
*hurls it at Laufery's eye*
*its so big, surely she can't miss*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*giants duck and swerve, some run from behind El and attack her*

*Laufey lets go of Silente, and some of the giants try to catch her, with ice shards in their hands*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*takes a breath in, glad for the air, and screams as she falls*
*stares at all the ice coming towards her*
*pushes against a giants hand with air, slowing her decent*
*lands without being punctured and looks at the face of the giant holding her while rubbing her neck*
Hey.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*the giant holding Silente throws her againt a tree*

*a few giants are hit, one getting a full blast and dying* Laufey moved towards El, kicking the mage in the head, Loki had asked to give the Bloglandians the fear of god, but no killing, yet*

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
But... Maybe I can stop him...
*She found herself walking towards Laufey, a glare on her face*
Put my friends down...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*hits the tree and her body twists as it falls*
Owww...
*gets to her feet unshakily*
*ribs, possibly cracked, hurt*
*a few more giants start leaking that strange mist, slower than the first round, but will eventually meet the same feat*
*she was starting to get dizzy*

John said...

*Appears in a blinding flash of light, a shockwave blasting back a few giants around him*

Am I late to the party?

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*steps in*
*looks around, drawing swords*

*to Storm* Defend yourself, using any means necessary!

*charges at the nearest Frost Giant*

((Not sure how long I'm here for))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: I am under orders to not kill, Asgardian. *eyes Silente, deciding the girl is beat, he picks El up, and puts her beside Silente*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, eyes lighting up more*
*she could do what Kes said*
*yes she could*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*slashes at the frost giant with right sword, then left*
*the giant dodges the first swipe and catches the second*
*its barely bleeding, even though it should have cut off her hand*
*Kestrel lets go of the sword and cartwheels back, tapping digils on her arms and sending a shock wave against the giant*
*it falls, dead or unconscious, and she retrieves her swird*

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She shook her head at Laufey*
That means I can do this.
*She raised her hand and sent Laufey hurtling backward*
Need I say again. Stay away from my friends.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at El*
*she looks okay*
*looks at Blake*
Oi! Got a minute?! Idiot cracked my ribs! And fighting with cracked ribs hurts!
*teleports to Blake, nearly falling flat on her butt*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*The giant swats Kessie away*

*many swarm Blakr, sending ice like bullets at him*

John said...

*He draws his sword and lets the chains on his arm fall into his hand, a wide, slightly manic, smile on his face*

I missed the reaper invasion... I'll make up for the whole thing here!

*He charges the nearest giant, his sword a golden blur*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*stomps foot, activating speed sigil*
*hopefully she won't have to use it too often, it takes a lot of energy*

*runs to Silente and El*

Leave them alone!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Wait, we're not playing the giants we're fighting against? Then ignore the beginning but of my last post))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: *summons an ice shard and as soon as he can, gets back up from being sent into a tree, and charges at Rose*

Enough! Touch my wife and I kill you.

Laufey: *backs away from Rose, and grabs Zanida, the Asgardian begins screaming as Laufey picks her up*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*kneels by Silente, swearing*
*taps three symbols quickly before placing her hands over Silente's ribs*
I can't heal you fully, it'll take too much energy. I'm just trying to take away the pain so you can fight.

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She sent a repluse between Laufey and Zanida and sent the Asgardian back behind Rose*
Laufey. She is a friend.
*She looked back behind her at Loki*
Wife? Last time I heard, I was only a girlfriend.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(2:30 am)

That's all I need Kes.

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She looked at El and sent her behind Rose again*
Stay behind me. Laufey and I are settling this now.

John said...

*He dashes from one giant to the next with blinding speed, lashing out with his sword and chains while firing the occasional cross at point-blank range*

Come on! Is this all you overgrown frost heaves have?!

Cum pluvia ferrum abi!

*Hundreds of magic circles glow to life around him, and a rain of blades erupts from each*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*the giant touches the sword sending ice up it*

((If I take time to reply be paitent, multitasking Loki and giants.))

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Good. *removes hands, standing up*
*reaches down to help Silente stand*
Kill as many as you can. If you can, get to Loki- they listen to him.

*pulls knife from boot, and throws it*
*her aim, as always, is perfect*
*she hits the nearest giant in the left eye*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*The siblings stay behind*

Laufey: *sends an ice shard straight for her heart*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Zaf, I don't know if that'll kill it or not))

*runs at the giant she threw the knife at*
*she'll be damned if she's going to lose that knife*
*jumps, swinging for the giant's head*

Jophiel said...

(Ignore tht again. My brain was elsewhere.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*nods*
Kill. Get Loki. Got it.
*turns and runs at the giants*
*teleports a second before she wouldn't ran into ones leg and appears behind Loki, holding the knife to his throat*
Call them off!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*yelling* Storm, that won't work! It's probably an illusion!

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She deflected the ice shard into the ground in front of her feet*
Your granddaughter can do better than that.
*She glared at him, infusing as much magic as she could into it*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*yelling back* worth a shot!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*the giant staggers swinging at Kessie*

*Laughs as Silente grabs the air* Will you ever not fall for that?

John said...

My god I haven't had this much fun is so long...

*Blake holds his sword upwards with both hands, a golden glow forms around it*

Lux caeli, occidere inimicos meos.

*He slashes in a wide arc, the light on his blade tearing its self free in a wave of destruction*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: *a faint scream comes from him, as he backs away from the glare, ducking behind some Frost Giants, hiding in battle*

John said...

(in*)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*Kestrel, being a vampire with a speed rune, is really damn fast*
*she lands, ducking under the giant's swing, and spins, lashing out at the giant's leg with her left sword*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Your dads trying to kill Rose, your princess doesn't want this! Chose Loki, her or the death of thousands.
*teleports away to kill giants*
*ends up on ones shoulder and stabs the knife.into its neck, ripping downwards*

Jophiel said...

Rose2:
*She stalked towards him, cutting off the glare so he didn't waste too much magic*
Pathetic, Laufey! Loki should have your throne! He does not ban away from a fight with a Midgardian woman! Ha!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*Half of the giants near Blake run, the others by him are killed, most noteably, Loki and Zan's mother*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*she slices the giants leg off and it falls*
*she retrieves the knife from its eye before cutting its head off*
*wipes the blood on her jacket, running off in search of Laufey*

((Zaf, if that's not okay, tell me!))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*The giant by Kessie falls*

*The giant by Silente grabs her head, and squeezes*

Laufey: *grabs Rose, ready to smash her*

John said...

*He teeports in front of the fleeing giants*

Some grand army you are, running from a single foe.

*The chains on his left arm writhe through the air with a mind of their own, squeezing the life from some giants and piercing others at various important parts of the body*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*sees Storm and changes course, running for her*
Storm, dammit, fight back!

*taps sigils on hands, throwing red energy daggers at the giant as she runs*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*screams and stabs the knife into its hand before just plain thrusting a flame in its face*

John said...

(Teleports*)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*reaches the giant holding Storm and jumps, slicing its arm off*
*it falls, still holding Storm*

Jophiel said...

*She held her head high and glared at Laufey with all her might*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*kicks the giant between the legs, shoving it away*
*she's been told to fight back*
*slashes its neck, its legs, anywhere*
*sends a wave of blue energy at it and those near it*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*Sil is dropped, Laufey ignores the flames*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*seeing that Storm is okay, runs off to help Rose*
I don't know why I'm helping you, you idiot, but you owe me.

*draws right sword*
*lunges at Laufey with right hand sword, left coming around in a sweeping cut from the side*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: *punches at Rose, trying to ignore the pain*

Zanida: Rose don't kill him...please...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*grits her teeth and closes her eyes*
*and slowly a tiny trickle of mist starts leaving Laufrey*
*its not much*
*but its some and the effect of it slowly become visible*

Jophiel said...

*She throws out one hand, sending all of the people, Frost Giants and Mages alike, flying backwards. Her sight was starting to leave, but she kept up the glare*

Jophiel said...

*Her head cracked as it shot backwards and she became limp in Laufey's grasp*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Zaf, did I hit him?))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*giants are thrown back, Laufey included*

*holds onto Zanida*

John said...

*He teleports to each of his comrades, giving them all the same message*

"Don't worry about the army, focus on Loki and Laufey."

*Teleports into the midst of a rather large group of giants*

Hey snowcones!

*He flashes a cocky smile*

Come and get it.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*is frown back and the mist stops*
*climbs to her feet and starts again, the mist slowly leaving him*
*only he won't start turning wooden*
*hes going to be a cuddly toy*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(**thrown)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(OMG its 3am! I'm not even tired! XD)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*yelling*
Thanks Blake, I couldn't have figured that out for myself!

*takes a running jump at Laufey, landing on his shoulders*
*clenches fist, activating symbol, and grabs on*
*sending an electric shock through his whole body*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Laufey: *realizes Rose might be dead and just runs to Loki*

ROSE!!!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Storm, it's not even 10 PM here and I'm falling asleep!))

Jophiel said...

*She stared blankly up at the sky, her head bent at an odd angle*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(And I woke up early yesterday! Lol. I should really be asleep....nah!)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*yells* Storm! Heal Rose!


((*swears angrily* Gtg, guys, have fun!))

John said...

*Cuts down a giant and yells back to Kes*

Terribly sorry for taking on all these guys by myself while you focus on just a couple of the big ones!

*He stops a giant's fist with a barrier of light and looks back at it*

Really? I'm trying to hold a conversation here.

*He places his hand on the giant's stomach and fires a full power cross*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*picks Rose up, holding her close* Shhh...Astrid will heal you.

John said...

(Bye Kes)

John said...

(So Zaffy, about how many giants are left in this here army?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*teleports to rose*
*she looks dead*
*claps her hands and taps the double up energy sigil and the life energy sigil*
*two times in one day*
*not good*
*lays hands on roses neck, literally giving her part of Sil's life force*

Jophiel said...

*Her heart, which had been struggling to beat for the past minute, finally gave up*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*and, you know, healing her*

Jophiel said...

*Her heart didn't respond to Sil's attempts*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*taps a different sigil and an electric shock races through Deathy*
*starting to look quite dead herself*
*gives up more of her life force*
*healing at the same time*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Silente....*is lost for words*


((Uhm....a few thousand? On Asgard, though. I'm going to invade later on again, when I'm not half asleep and when some others are on too so they can join in the fun. So for where you are, a few like 20.))


Zanida: *runs towards Blake, and sees her mother, dead* You killed my mother!!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jabari: I knew this would happen, if that does not work, I'll drag her soul back.

Jophiel said...

(Cleaning sucks when I could be here...)

*Still nothing happened*

*Rose was in the dark. She was used to it now. But something was different this time. There was a slight light far away - her way out. She started to run towards it*

John said...

*Turns to Zanida, a stern look on his face*

I'll kill anyone who threatens the safety of this place. Mothers, fathers, children. I suggest that you convince your brother to pull back the remaining forces before I kill them as well.

*A harsh glow encompass his body as he speaks*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*shaking badly*
*looks as if she's about to collapse*
*probably because she is*
*doesn't stop healing*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sends through another shock*
Rose!

Jophiel said...

*Something in the dark made her falter. He didn't care. She got up and kept running*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sends more and more electric jolts into her heart*
Rose! Come on Death! Think of Leif! And Loki! And the kitten! And your daughter! Rose!
*is about to collapse*
