In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Consider this, Vates, I wish one to be the voice of deaths people.'
Koviaem says 'Hrm'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'To preach of the mark'
Koviaem says 'Interesting'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Of what has come'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'BUT!'
Valadar snarls.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'In favor of what we aspire to accomplish'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Not the bigoted report of the heralds'
You peer intently at Koviaem.
Koviaem rests his chin in hand.
Koviaem says 'Tell me, count.'
Valadar pulls his hood back, revealing dark locks straying across a pale brow.
Koviaem looks at you through his piercing eyes, 'Have you found out who I am?'
You raise an eyebrow at the notion.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'I know you as Vates,'
Koviaem says 'Indeed.'
Koviaem says 'But you do not know who I am'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Beyond that, no.'
Koviaem says 'Why I do not wear his mark so bluntly as the common creatures.'
Koviaem says 'Why I do not fear your presence'
Koviaem says 'Why I do not fear the torments'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You do not fear death.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'What masquerade do you dance then, Vates?'
The edges of Koviaem's lips curl upward into a wicked grin, 'What masquerade indeed. Dear Count.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'So, reveal your secret.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'For if you do not fear me, then you have no fear of what you hide.'
You nod at Jalice.
Koviaem says 'I have no fear for my own secret.'
Jalice looks at you.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Then speak your mind, Vates.'
Koviaem says 'I wait upon the coming'
Koviaem says 'Then all will be revealed'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'I see.'
The mark on Valadar's forehead FLARES with a cold fire as he stands close to the Rift.
Valadar throws his hood back his hand going to his brow.
Koviaem says 'That point in time when reality is weakest and he will be aloud to enter fully...'
Koviaem says 'Then my work is complete'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You speak as the deus cruciatas, and Thorm'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'And his pathetic illusion of mirrors'
Koviaem says 'Mirrors?'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Of one below, working to open them just enough'
Valadar peers intently at the rift, his hand slowly lowering from his mark
Valadar continues to watch the rift, 'Thorm is not Thorm.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'He has been in proximity to the rifts to long.'
Koviaem says 'An illusion'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Somethign else fills him'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Something insubstantial'
Koviaem says 'Do you fear this...insubstantiaty?'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Something that claims it will CEASE when the rifts do.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Fear?'
Koviaem says 'Not fear...'
Valadar snarls at Koviaem, grasping the haft of his weapon.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'I am curious.'
Valadar touches the mark upon his brow again, and steps right up to the rift.
Koviaem says 'Do not all?'
The mark on Valadar's forehead FLARES with a cold fire as he stands close to the Rift.
Koviaem says 'Perhaps this illusion brings hope to them'
Valadar 's eyes widen slightly.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'No, not hope.'
Valadar reaches out a gauntletd hand, as if to touch the dark gate radiating black lightening.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'No, Thorm is from the void, or what is within him is.'
Valadar allows his hand for a moment to breach the surface of the dark gate.
Valadar pulls his hand back, turning to Koviaem
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Merely torments.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Mindless beasts.'
You grizzle your teeth and look mean.
Koviaem snarls angrily.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Hahah, not Bella.'
Koviaem grins maliciously.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Why does it burn.'
Koviaem says 'They are the composition of all that is imperfect in us.'
Valadar touches the mark at his brow.
Black lighting crackles about the Nexus Rift as a torment steps forth!
An ominous crackling of dark energies echos through the night!
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Inperfections dwell in mortality.'
Valadar draws the large scythe from his back, taking a thrusting swipe at the rift before him.
You grizzle your teeth and look mean.
Koviaem watches your motions with curiosity.
You hear Anume's voice in your head, - It flares because it feels his closeness.
Valadar peers about.
Koviaem says 'What is that mark upon your forhead.'
An ominous crackling of dark energies echos through the night!
You are certain that nobody around you heard anything from the odd looks they give you.
Koviaem says 'The imagery is unlike that I remember.'
as if to himself, or someone you do not see Valadar says ,'He comes...and will we answer to him?'
The ground beneath you shakes lightly as the massive Golem guard patrols on all sides.
Koviaem drinks water from the barrel.
The Central Commons
You stand amid the Central Commons of Rheydin, the main
gatheriner place in this city. A large fountain has been built here,
feeding the water needs of the Rheydin citizens. Here, an inter-
section divides Saint Orealt Avenue and Saint Andres Street, the
main roads in Rheydin.
[Exits: north east south west]
[NEXUS] [||||||] A Nexus Gateway crackles with hellish heat and
unholy magics.
The Grey Banner of the city of Rheydin stands tall here.
The official Tribunal Roll Call has been posted here.
A massive marble fountain bubbles forth with water here.
(Humming) Pulsating with wild energies the Nexus Rift is here.
Zhokril the Ethereal Timewraith, Channeler of the Mystic is here.
(Charmed) Valadar's dracolich stands here reeking of death.
(Invisible) (Charmed) Jalice's swamp drake is here, stretching its slimy
wings.
(Invisible) Jalice the Holy Shaman is here.
Koviaem the Master Bard is here.
The Town Crier stands here ready to give directions.
Koviaem says 'Wraith.'
The frigid air causes Koviaem's breath to coalesce into fog.
Koviaem says 'You have come here?'
The Grey Banner blows strongly in the winds of Rheydin.
A formless mass undulates before you, the transparent substance somewhat
resembling a chemical mist. Lacking any definite shape, the substance
continually flows in on itself as fresh strands escape from its center.
While you are able to see through the mist, the images behind it seem oddly
distorted. In fact, they change fluidly like a slideshow. Individual
strands of the timestream reveal different points in the past, present, and
future as each blurry image dissolves into the next.
A mirage of faces, objects, and scenery takes indefinite form, often
incomplete, only to morph into something completely different as other
strands flow through the picture. A faint sound like that of the wind
emanates from the revolving figment of time, and time itself is distorted
around you. Some movements seem faster, while others are as though watching
in slow motion. The mass pulses in the air, free of weight, as it revolves
and collapses about itself.
Zhokril is in excellent condition.
Zhokril is using:
(Glowing) (Humming) the Timesphere
(Glowing) (Humming) a Hole in Time
An Immortal says softly, 'He too, feels HIS arrival. He is coming closer.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'By what blessing or sin do we deserve your presence, Deus Tempus.'
Black lighting crackles about the Nexus Rift as a torment steps forth!
An ominous crackling of dark energies echos through the night!
Jalice inserts a tube into her neck, pumping multi-colored liquids into her veins.
Anume says 'Soon the Borders will be weakened enough.
Anume appears right behind you.
An odd sound permeates from Zhokril, almost as if a laugh, 'You know not what awaits you, Sadist.'
Anume says, 'You do feel HIS presence, don't you.
Anume chuckles.
Valadar continues to watch the rift, his hand seemingly forgotten as he touches the mark upon his brow.
Anume says, 'I do. Do you however?

Anume says, 'The Rifts will converge into one soon, no doubt. And then there will be no more Torment toys.
Valadar lower his hand, his steel eyes turning to survey all in the area.
Anume says, 'I can feel his presence.
Koviaem looks at Zhokril, waiting for his answer.
The air heating as sound travels through them, Zhokril replies, 'You cannot tamper with the laws of the Universe, it will not stand.'
Anume says, 'I do not tamper. My Lord comes.
Koviaem says 'The one?'
Anume says, 'The Demon has weakened the Border enough to allow for his return.
Valadar steps aside, moving as if to await the command of his mistress.
Koviaem growls.
Observing Anume's odd behavior momentarily, Zhokril emanates, 'Enough of this.'
Anume continues to stare into the Rift, completely ignoring anyone around her.
Valadar turns his head, peering at Zhokril, a metallic shimmer passing over his eyes.
A whispering sound precedes as a thin shell of magical energy seeps from Zhokril's form, making its way toward the Rift.
Valadar looks from Zhokril to Anume and back
Anume chuckles, 'Do you really think your magic will change what thousands of Souls have wrought?
The Rift flares angrily as Zhokril's magical shell begins to engulf it.
Anume says, 'The Time has not come yet. They need to combine.
Anume says, 'Only ONE. For HIM.
Anume is gone with a malicious chuckle.
Valadar once again touches the mark at his brow.
A snickering laugh can be heard, echoing around Zhokril as if mocking him.
As a torment makes it way through the Rift, Zhokril's shell lashes towards it whip-like, forcing it back within.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You may be able to delay them, but whats next...is beyond even you Deus Tempus.'
Koviaem says 'Hrm'
The frigid air causes Koviaem's breath to coalesce into fog.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'All..'
You point at Koviaem.
Koviaem raises an eyebrow.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'This one, the creatura per haud visio'
Jalice says 'The pyre burns brightly, the lands are ravished by pain and anguish, and many have deemed their souls to his will.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'The Deus Cruciatus.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'All speak of one thing, THE one thing.'
Zhokril Turning slowly toward you, Zhokril replies simply, 'I need not stop what is next. No, you will be thwarted by mere mortals.'
Jalice says 'Who dare challenge the inevitable?'
Koviaem says 'Is this true, Zhokril?'
Koviaem says 'How can be you so sure.'
Jalice says 'There are but few who dare not bear the mark, and embrace the rift.'
His voice rising, Zhokril continues, 'Not even your avatar of Sirant will stand in for you, vampire. Anume does not care for you for anything more than a tool.'
Jalice says 'Those few dare not show their face within the lands, for fear of the seas of pain they will be dealt.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Is it not the place of a king to serve that which is greater than himself.'
Zhokril emanates, 'Chosen Blade of Anume indeed. For that is all that you are.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'If I am to be wielded, then I will strike upon the flesh of my foes with all the power I have, swiftly, and with resolution beyond those who are self serving.'
Jalice says 'Puppets of our masters.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You will not infect me with hesitation, or fear of belittlement.'
The Dracolich scowls, 'But you require my help. Take credit for my work, indeed.'
Valadar, with a swift seamless gesture, beheads his own mount.
The Dracolich slowly disappears.
Koviaem says 'Interesting'
Zhokril emanates tauntingly, 'Those who serve you are no less likely to turn on you.'
Nodding his head at you, Koviaem muses, 'Very interesting.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'And I should I speak against my mistress I expect her blow to be even swifter.'
Zhokril continues, 'Such is your dedication to Sirant's avatar.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'And you, Deus Tempus, what of your master...the stream of time is all consuming.'
Zhokril emanates, 'I am as your chest is to yourself. I AM time.'
Zhokril says, 'I do not fear for a master, as you do.'
Valadar sneers as he speaks.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Fear? '
Koviaem says 'No master...'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'That is why you seek to stop this.'
Valadar narrows his eyes.
Zhokril emanates, 'You gave up mortality to be a slave. One must reason that your life as a mortal was even more pathetic.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You claim no allegiance to the one who comes.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'The one who sets my brow aflame with mere proximity'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Haha, you know nothing of my sacrifice...of the fuel to the fire that is my vengeance'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'As to the origin of my bond.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'I sacrificed my mortality to end the lives of all those who sinned against my people.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'But you, you claim independance from the one who comes.'
The ground beneath you shakes lightly as the massive Golem guard patrols on all sides.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You fear it.'
Valadar cocks his head to the side, his grey eyes gleaming with a metallic shimmer.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'For it will command your service.'
Valadar licks his lips.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You know your own follower has become my childe.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'You mock me while those who serve you bow.'
The air all around, even in your own lungs, seems to laugh at you as Zhokril remains silent.
You smirk.
Zhokril says 'It? Do you know what 'it' is, slave?'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Ahh, now you demand I respect THE ONE whose coming you fear?'
Valadar crosses his arms to his chest, the runes etched in the dark metal glowing with an eerie green light.
Koviaem says 'You have allegiance to him so long as you have allegiance to his followers.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'I will serve the one through my mistress.'
As though speaking the words of Time itself, Zhokril replies, 'The One will not come through that Rift, ignorant pawn. I will see to it personally if I must.'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Ahh, but can you truly stand against my mistress, can you truly stand against THE demon.'
Koviaem says 'Is it the one who shall appear?'
You peer intently at Koviaem.
An odd laugh permeating once more, Zhokril replies, 'Do you wish to risk finding out?'
Koviaem says 'I do not risk anything'
Jalice smirks at Zhokril's saying.
Zhokril emanates, 'Where would that leave you...with nobody to serve.'
Koviaem says 'Whom do I serve?'
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'And as my mistress commands any mortal that stands in the way will find their blood let, or their soul tainted as it suits me.'
Selrin grins mischievously at a nasty idea.
Jalice says 'I have seen many talk of this arrogance, and then they fall to be one with the dust you stand on.'
Jalice says 'Yet none have averted any of the events laid into place.'
Koviaem looks at Jalice.
Koviaem says 'They have tried'
Jalice says 'And now, the wraith of the tower.'
Jalice says 'Whos halls are empty, minus the echoes of his own voice.'
Valadar raises a finger
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'And my childe.'
Valadar flashes a wicked grin.
Zhokril utters the words, 'szculayl'.
You yell 'Die! Zhokril, you sorcerous dog!'
You have been PETRIFIED!!
You're too busy collecting bird droppings!
Muttering curses and mumbling unholy words, Jalice begins to fashion a small wooden doll.
Jalice creates a cute little doll.
Jalice concentrates momentarly and stabs a needle into a minature replica of Zhokril.
An amused chuckle winds its way from Zhokril.
Selrin watches with interest as the entertainment begins.
Your mind suddenly fills with the certainty that nothing ill will befall you.
Jalice smirks.
Zhokril utters the words, 'szculayl'.
Jalice yells 'Die! Zhokril, you sorcerous dog!'
Jalice has been PETRIFIED!!
You feel a pair of dark eyes watching, the fires of chaos swirling inside.
Koviaem looks at the statues around him.
Koviaem says 'And now what'
Your flesh returns to normal.
Koviaem says 'Something IS coming'
Speaking slowly and deliberately, Zhokril emanates, 'You may speak to your equals as you wish, children. But you will not speak to me in such a manner.'
Valadar 's eyes burn with an inner fire.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'A wise commander once noted, should your foe retaliate with force then you have struck them deep in their heart.'
Koviaem chortles mischieviously.
In a cold and sinister voice Valadar says, 'Have I struck you deeply with my words, Deus Tempus?'
