Enkidu arched through the air, beginning his descent toward his pinned prey: the cosmos itself, Abzu. He would not kill, but restrain. To bind the ancient being, returning him and his tree to the Void; before the Tree could work its primeval Chaotic powers and permanently overwrite their world...

I stand alone at the edge of the abyss. It stared back. In that darkness I see the cosmos itself. Above, three meteors pierce shattered heavens; demons rise; below, the dead die; Rot spreads; siblings freed; truth revealed; vengeance claimed; worship, worship, worship. My siblings and I were...

Akiza folded the top right page down to save its place, closing the book in her lap before placing it on the armrest of her seat. A gentle breeze passed through the lush field. It was peaceful here; a place without war, strife, or hungering. Akiza remained silent, slowly rising from the wooden...

Before Isabella could perform her combination small roots of the Void Tree ruptured the sand beneath her, the tranquil waters of the Hokubu suddenly disrupted as they lurched toward her with unavoidable speed. Two tendrils pierced her feet, and clear through and through as pain would shoot from...

The tree was completely indifferent to Isabella's assault. It did not suffer damage nor did it retaliate in response. Instead its roots reached deep into the earth, spreading its tendrils far and wide. Eridu lay in ruins; the surrounding ocean floor was littered in shattered marble, broken...

Lady Ningal's typically relaxed contorted, stress conquering her cool demeanor. It was difficult for Isabella and Mirabelle to hear through the waters of the Hokubu; but in the distance a riot had just broken out in the market quarters of the city. Months ago a riot breaking out in Eridu was...

ALL THINGS. A whisper as loud as a scream. The Void Specter did not respond. Its whispers went silent after Isabella spoke. It just continued to glare at her, its eyes radiating purple energy as it did. These were no ordinary eyes, and they were fixated on Isabella. If she were to shift...

OOC: Keep track of your Sanity counter. If it hits zero it is treated as a knockout in the Ninja World, until you recover a suitable amount of it. As soon as Isabella touched the tree her visions would blur. The image of Lady Ningal warped and distorted, as if she was on LSD or some other...

"The Divine Tree you might be familiar with would have looked nothing quite like this. Though the two of you are welcome to touch it. Our Grovetenders pray to it daily, and use their contact to receive its word. I do not speak in riddles either, you two. The Tree does speak. Though its voice is...

The Myrmidons departed, returning to their original posts. It seemed they weren't worried for Lady Ningal's safety. Perhaps she was an adequate combatant herself when it was necessary. Or perhaps in the presence of the Void Tree they believed she would be adequately protected. "You humans are...

The four Myrmidons, along with Isabella and Mirabelle, finally arrived at the heart of the city - the base of the Void Tree. The tree was growing out of the center of a courtyard within a massive temple, a temple that was built in dedication to the tree itself. The marble columns were inscribed...

The Captain grunted as she asked her question. The Myrmidons in many ways were more muscle than brain. They were the brute force of Eridu that was formed after the mysterious events that transpired between Lucifer's visit six months prior and today. They answered the call of strength, and gave...

"Then you will come with us." The captain's voice was firm, but tinged in paranoia. "Take them into the city." Two Myrmidons swam through the water, approaching Mirabelle and Isabella. "Security protocol dictates we escort you. Humans are permitted to visit the High Priestess but we are to guard...

"HALT!" The command echoed through the water suddenly. Behind the pair four Myrmidons appeared, each armed with a massive trident-like weapon that glowed purple and blue energies. Their presence had been concealed before, and used the sand on the seafloor as a guise to hide their positions. They...

Deep in the waters of the Hokubu Ocean rests the home of the Sentinels; while not an ancient race, and by all means newborn in human standards, they are endowed with immense wisdom and intelligence. In terms of their appearance they are much like Kisame, a race of humanoid fish and sharks. They...

Lady Aria blinked twice, looking at Lucifer with a modicum of surprise. "The tree speaks to us, just as it does you. What it meant to tell you I couldn't explain. Its message is different for everyone that hears it. But each is intended for a specific person's ears, and only theirs. It is...

Lady Aria remained silent, observing what happened as Lucifer's palm made contact. The Grovetenders were equally as focused, following their Lady's example as if waiting for some miracle to take place spontaneously. And for a few moments it seemed as if nothing would happen, but soon the...

"I have only heard legends of two of what you require. The shard of a chasm...perhaps that comes from somewhere in the West. In the Ruins of Chungsu my hands found documents that noted of mysterious ruins in the far west. As for the Twin Fates.... My knowledge of them is even less than that of...

It was indeed a mysterious tree indeed. The longer that Lucifer remained transfixed on it, the more alluring it seemed to become. It wasn't enough to simply describe the tree as Void-touched. It was something more, something deeper. As if it actually originated from the Void itself. After an...

The pair of Sentinels motioned for Lucifer to follow them, making no response but other than a mere hand gesture. They turned around with their baskets, leading him closer to the ocean's floor and the heart of the immense city. As the trio swam, they began speaking to him again. "Our home, here...
