Samuel grumbled under his breath and sat back down, fuming in anger.

It's time.

Gabriel sighed. "Do we have any volunteers to go first?"

Genevieve frowned. "Interrogate me on what?"

-Astrados-
"I'll go first, if my compliance means anything." I said, sitting down.

-Roran-
"I suppose interrogator isn't the right word, but it certainly feels like it, with you being in here. But we need you to help us figure out a way to calm the Gods. We knew this day was coming for a long time, and we heard reports the warriors were coming to take your country. They haven't, thanks to this Godly destruction, but unfortunately..."

How do I tell a girl who could bring down the wrath of the gods upon us, that her entire family is dead by the hands of the kidnappers we sent? The kidnappers have already been executed in secret for previous criminal deeds, but that only means the blood of her family will fall upon us. Or more specifically to her compliance, me.

"Unfortunately what?" Genevieve said.

Gabriel nodded. "Very well. He is in the room beyond," Gabriel pointed to an ornate door to the right."

"Your family...the uh, the nobles...and uh, the kidnappers...I uh, please understand..."

-Astrados-
"Thank you. This will be brief." I said as Nickolas escorted me through the door.

The door slammed shut before Astrados had the chance to enter. Darkness swept over the room and a booming laugh echoed as each torch went out. Servants and missionaries alike dropped unconscious (save Nickolas because he's holy and a legitimate character) leaving only the kings and queens and a few other conscious. A shadowy form began appearing at the head of the table as Gabriel had fallen back in shock.

Elsewhere Genevieve had risen, tears in her eyes and anger making her words sting. "No, I don't understand," she said. Her eyes flickered and the chambers shook.

I took a deep breath. Best to say it quickly. I'm going to hate myself for this.

"I'm sorry to say, but I've... I've recieved reports your immediate family is dead."

-Nickolas-
"Get back my lord!" I roared as I drew my blade and pushed Astrados, stepping forward. "Give me a reason not to slay you, creature of the dark!" I barked at it, my blade dragging across the ground quickly once to produce sparks, so I may see the creature before us.

-Astrados-
What on the ground we stand is this thing? Have the gods themselves come to kill me now for my lies? Is this it for me? Perhaps, if possible, I should just order Nickolas to run and let me die. Truly, if the gods have come for me, Nickolas should not die for me. He is a good man, and is not even aware of our kidnapping of her. Gods above, please give him the power to survive.

Genevieve paused. "Why...my family has been dead for three years. Burned in my castle. What exactly are you getting at?"

The being stayed amorphous but laughed. "You would threaten the very gods you worship?"

"O-Oh, I said imm-immediate family didn't I? I'm sorry, I-I meant...I uh..." Oh man, how's she gonna take my explanation of the rest of her family being dead with a slip up like that? She'll just think I'm lying. "The uh, whatever's left of your family, I uh...they're...gone as well...I'm not messing with you, please understand." I spoke very poorly. I'm a Templar damn it, why am I so shaken up by one girl half my age? I'm a Templar in my prime, I shouldn't be mumbling and sweating this badly!

-Nickolas-
"Impossible! Why would the gods take forms that lack the beauty and grace we had known?" I said loudly, but not very pridefully. "You appear more akin to the creatures we fear would eat the children who disrespected their mothers! What god are you?"

-Astrados-
I couldn't get any words out. Nickolas was bearing his holy blade at a God like the brave man he is, while I sit here like a coward. I will soon die a coward too, I fear.

"Please, no God can take their ethereal form unless the God King Hiron has taken his host. Which shall be soon," the shadow shook with laughter. "I am the God of Strife, Feyrage. Your terrible squabbles made it much easier to appear. Soon...Hiron will consume the girl and Gods will walk among men again! Tremble! Realize that the Fall of Man is upon you!" The ground shook again.

Genevieve opened her mouth to respond when a great weight seemed to fall on her mind. She sat hard in her chair, staring at the floor as raw power flooded her brain. "Thank you, Templar, for throwing her emotions into turmoil..." A voice echoed. "She will be...much easier to possess now..." A bright flash of light filled the room.

I shielded my eyes, falling back onto the ground while covering my eyes with my right arm.

-Nickolas-
"What will become of us, the ones that have worshiped you for so long? We have already seen the destruction rampant across our land." At this point, I felt genuine fear for the first time in years. God or not, this being is beyond my power. Unless my holy blade can kill him here and now, striking at him will do me no favors.

-Astrados-
I stood up straight, still shaken to the core with visible horror on my face. "Nickolas..." Is all I could muster out, barely audibly.

The light subsided to reveal Genevieve slouched in her chair, her chin on her chest. Silence filled the room except for the gentle rise and fall of breathing.

A boom shook the Grand Hall and the smoke began to take form. "Oh pity," Feyrage laughed. "The ones who have whimpered at our feet for so long, maybe Hiron will take pity and make you personal slaves," the image snapped into place and a man lounged on the chair, swinging a glowing war harmer as the bored. "Or or or! You could fight right here for the privilege. All the royalty in one place yes! Fight!" He roared with laughter, shaking chunks of rock from the ceiling. Screams filled the air outside as earthquakes shook the lands. "Of...run," he beamed and the room was pitched into complete darkness.

Gabriel managed to find Astrados in the darkness and grabbed his arm. "We must flee. There is a safe haven we may hide and figure out a plan. Please tell me it wasn't you that took Genny."

Samuel merely cursed in his breath. So the monk was actually right for once. What the hell is going on?

-Astrados-
I calmed quickly at his voice, knowing I was not dead yet. "I will answer your question there. Get everyone else if possible. Nickolas! Protect everyone!"

-Nickolas-
I charged towards where the figure used to be, swinging my holy blade. The hope here is that he dies. If I can't get that, let's hope he's gone.

-Roran-
I uncovered my eyes after they readjusted, looking at the queen. I quickly stood up, then halted myself. I drew my blade and prepared the butt of my sword. I can't kill her, but if she's...possessed, I may have to knock her out again. "Genevieve? Are you...OK?"

Genevieve's head rose slowly, her eyes finding his. From the blue they were before, they were now completely black, even the whites of her eyes were gone. "Brave little warrior, run while you can," she said in a singsong voice. She stood and a blast sent him flying off his feet and towards the door. "The Gods have come to play in the land of the living. Come!" She raised her arms to the sky. "Come my subjects and retake this world!" She shouted at the ceiling and laughed as the world began to shake.

Gabriel held up his hand, light emanating from it. "Please everyone! Follow me!" He shouted, running towards a discreet door beneath a stair case.

Feyrage swung his hammer, deflecting the sword. "Last chance, get your king to safety boy," he growled.

-Roran-
I got up and readied my blade, which miraculously stayed in my hand the whole time. "I'll come back to save you Genevieve, I promise!" I shouted before rushing out the door, throwing it shut behind me. I had to get the queen out of here.

-Laura-
Two guards were taking me out of my room, and escorting me to the gates as quickly as possible. The earth itself shakes. What have we done to anger the gods?

-Nickolas-
"When you come back in your true form, I look forward to fighting you on an equal field of battle. " I said with a smirk. The force behind his hammer shook my arm with the deflect. I'm lucky I still have my arm. "EVERYONE, FOLLOW GABRIEL NOW!" I roared, backing off from Feyrage without turning my back to him.

-Astrados-
I followed behind Gabriel, my blade drawn. I stopped at the door and held my position near it, waiting for everyone else to get inside.

(I suppose we wait for everyone else now, which may take a while.)

(Well, doesn't that remind me of someone who was possessed?)

After a few minutes of shock, Samuel mentally slapped himself to get back into reality. He stood up hurriedly, looking rather shaken by the turn of events, and followed Gabriel.

It's time.

Feyrage watched them lazily. "I said you could run, I'm just gonna sit here, stretch for once," He did so.

Gabriel led them into a corridor. He ran his fingers over the stones, trying to find the right one. "Here!" He pushed and a wall revealed a stairwell leading down. "This is the way out."

-Astrados-
After everyone followed, I went in as well. Nickolas brought up the rear right behind me. He is surprisingly visible in the darkness.

-Roran-
I caught up to the queen and the two guards as they were exiting the castle. "Keep moving! Make sure she gets to the castle escape bunker, I'm going back in to see if I can stop this!" Is all I said after confirming they were safe. I rushed back inside before anything else could be said.
