Aqua grumbles. "If it's so obvious why must we go through all this?" Aqua surrounds herself in bubbles to keep herself from letting out her anger.

(I apologize for my absence, RL is a real drag sometimes, ya dig?)
Blaze walks out of his tent, fatigue clear on his face. His war council, though noble and just in their feelings, are unaware of what it costs soldiers to be at war. "it's probably because they have lived for so long. Dusty old fossils." he sighs and rakes his fingers through his hair. What am I going to do? I don't know how to lead men to their deaths over and over...

Blaze looks down at the ground and covers his face with a hand, tears welling up. Over five hundred are dead because of me. What am I going to do... Why don't you answer my prayers anymore Solare? Why? He lowers his hand at looks towards the main square in town and begins walking there, towards the monument at its center. "you came to me. You asked me to pass your judgement." He balls his hands into fists and quickens his pace, anger clear on his face. "you said this world would plunge into darkness if we didn't fight..." He stops right in front of the monument, a statue dedicated to the embodiment of light. "I'm talking to you! Give me an answer." The chiseled face of Solare says nothing and does nothing, as it had for hundreds of years. It simply stood, looking over the town, merely representing the devotion of the citizens that resided there generations ago, before the first war. Blaze, in a fit of rage, shrouds his hand in flame and strikes the statue, forcing his anger, hate, and rage into his fire. The statue glows white hot and begins to crack as the magic that kept it ageless suddenly splintered and disintegrated, bringing with it a sudden rush of time. A spiderweb of cracks spreads across its face and it's base begins to crumble as time took its toll. Blaze's fire vanishes as he sinks to his knees, sobbing as the memories he shared with his former soldiers comes to his mind, overwhelming his emotional barriers in an instant. The statue, unable to keep its form, suddenly crumbles to dust under the weight of its sudden intake of time. As Blaze looks up, it becomes a pile of rubble, a horrific sign of what was to come. "I'm sorry Solare, but I cannot worship a god... Who does not protect his followers... I'm sorry..."

Aqua hears the Statue of Solare when it crumbles and looks back at Luna. "I'll be back...." Aqua dashes to where the monument stands, or at least used to stand and sees Blaze kneeling by it sobbing. She walks up to him and places a hand on his shoulder. "What happened?"
"I denounced Solare as one of our deities. I destroyed his statue in hopes that he would listen. But..." Blaze looks at the rubble. "he cares not for us. The gods have abandoned us as we fight this war for them."

Light creeps in from a window as Anthrax looks at his map, disturbing the darkness he craves. With a twist of his hand, the light is shut out, as if it was never there. "where there is light, there is also darkness. And from this darkness, we find strength." he slowly turns to the table of cretins behind him, looking each one inn the face. They show no fear, yet he can smell the fear glistening inn the sweat upon each of his generals. "Malphas will guide us as we plunge this world into an eternity of darkness. Send word to the Vampires. If those fairies want a war..." he turns back to his map and glares at it, his eyes cold and restless. "I say we give them one... One that scar the planet... And erase them from its memory."

Aqua looks from the rubble to Blaze and sighs. "You never know Blaze, maybe they didn't want us to fight this war so they find no reason to pay attention to it..."
Blaze glares at Aqua, seething in anger. "we are fairies Aqua; we are bred to fight. Every cell in our body screams for battle, gets off on battle, and is meant to do battle. Maybe you would be okay with our kind being eradicated from this world. Maybe you peace loving water fairies would rather be friends with the dark ones and prance about under waterfalls. But those of us who have lost family to those... Cretins..." he spits out the word and stands up, infuriated. " we want something else. Your kind were made to heal. Mine were meant to fight. When all seemed lost and darkness decended upon our races, whenn light fairies were unable to defend the rest of you, it's was we fire fairies that fought back in the dark." he turns to her and pokes her in the chest. "you are a soldier, you must fight. Your family swore an oath, just like mine did. Even if our gods abandon us, I will not allow the dark fairies to destroy us. I will fight back with every fiber of my being." he turns and walks back to his quarters. "Remember Aqua, and remember this well. Their deity is darkness. He is the embodiment of evil. And if you don't fight it." he stops at his tent and looks back at her. "then you support it." and with that, he walks into his tent, wallowing in his rage.

Aqua stands up and narrows her eyes. He didn't understand what she meant when she said what she did but she couldn't blame him. Blaze had lost family to the dark fairies unlike Aqua so she couldn't be angry at him. "I guess there is no true way to settle this war. Blaze and everyone else here knows that a lot of people will die for no reason but I guess that's just life." Aqua looks down at the rubble from Solare's statue and frowns. "I wish I knew what went on in the minds of deities sometimes..."
<<You wouldn't be able to comprehend us little one>> a soothing voice speaks to Aqua's mind, calming and soothing, yet also wild. <<We beings are omnicient, we see and know all. If you, who lives in the present, learned of every possible future all at once, you would perish. And you have yet to play your part in this war; so we would hate to see you perish>>

Aqua looks around, thinking that is was a person who was speaking to her but no one was around. A deity was speaking to her and this stunned Aqua. A deity had never spoken to her before so why do they now? "This is the first time a deity has spoken to me..." Aqua says honestly, "When Blaze was here, why did you not speak to him?"

"That must explain why you spoke to me. I'm not at intent in the war as Blaze..." Aqua looks down at the ground then up towards the sky. "Aquarius, can you tell me if there is a better way to end this war? A way how innocent fairies will not have to die."
<The path that Blaze is taking right now is one that runs parallel with the path you speak of. He is doing the best he can with the resources he is given. But his committee has denied him the use of more troops, thus leading Blaze away Fromm the more desired path. In the end, it won't matter which path he takes. In the end, he will still die. In the near future, he will be given a choice; one that will determine whether Light wins. If he chooses Light, he will die. If he chooses Darkness, everyone else will. This is all I can tell you child. I must return my attention elsewhere, for I unfortunately am not completely omniscient. But please, take this. May it help rebolster your faith and the faith of those around you." the clouds part as Aquarius stops talking, allowing the sun to shine down upon Aqua. Within the sunbeams a translucent key falls and passes through the girl's being, unlocking her inner strength. {Consider it a small boost in your healing power. Only those of true Light can regenerate, and now you can too. May it aid you. Good bye, little one.}

Aqua bows. "Th-Thank you." As she rises back upwards from bowing, all she can do is stare in awe. Everyone'slife was practically in the hands of Blaze and he probably didn't even know. "I should tell him but....why would he believe me? If a deity won't talk to him, I doubt he'd think they'd talk to me..." Aqua was still contemplating on whether to tell Blaze while walking past his tent.
